There you go again, trying to make me jealous. I shit twice today and have been up only a few hours. Both were incomplete. I dig away with the baby wipes till all is clear. I'm living with it because I'm a tough guy and do not trust doctors. Plus I have already seen 3 in regards to this issue and it's obvious they know nothing.
Yes I'm sure surfing is very physical. However, I don't think 64 is too old for even the most rugged surfing. It would be if someone got away from it then tried to come back. But if they're doing it all the time they can keep going till - well, till they can't go anymore. Hell, their are boxers in their 50s who can still give people trouble. But yes, at some point age is going to come into play. In the meantime it is often used as an excuse, or given the blame for other things like procrastination and laziness. I know this firsthand as only a few short years ago I was regularly walking a brisk 4 or 5 miles per day but now feel like it's a big deal walking around the block. Well, not a big deal, but acceptable. I know I'm lying to myself. I'm not looking to win any medals and I cannot deny that I love the bed. But truth is it's taking me down. Today I got up and walked twice around the block just to say I did something. Next step? To carry a giant surfboard while doing it. Hoist it up on my shoulders so the chicks can see it. "What are you going to do with that board Pops?", one says, her massive tits jiggling as she laughs. Then I remove the board from my shoulders and put it on the ground. It has wheels she did not see. It's a giant skate board but can also be used as a surf board with the wheels taken off. I hop aboard the skate and one-leg propel myself to a speed she can't believe - like 20 miles an hour, maybe faster - then slam the board purposely into a nearby abutment which propels me into the air where I do a 360 degree flip, landing on the board as it bounces free above the abutment. "Man", she says, "you sure surprised me. I don't know how old you are, but you're pretty good for any age. Very athletic, very in shape."
"True, true", I reply, "but I still can't get a hard on."
