If I had a Goldwing I could drop it three times a week, maybe 5 or 6 times each day, and I would get a good strength training workout!

Not sure how long or wide the longevity path is but each day is part of an adventure and I intend to try and make of it what I can. The doctor has a plan and I’m on it!

The cardiologist has his eye on my situation and I’m following his advice in terms of medications, diet, stress and exercise. My plans got me to a heart attack so I figure his have to be better. So far, so good.

Changing lifestyles is work and generate a lot of resistance between my ears and with others. Calls on persistence. Good luck pushing motorcycles around!

Seeing things for what they are, and not assigning undo importance to things is a real challenge. Not just now but for a lifetime. They don’t teach you those skills in high school.

I’ve heard of drunk dreams but I’m not having anything like that. My riding dreams remain in the conscious world. So far there have been no unfounded worries to deal with but I can see how things could get hazy…

No plans for retirement on the horizon. Still enjoy the challenges at work so for the foreseeable future I’ll remain in the workforce. It is nice to know that I can retire at any time if I wish to.

“…it won’t be the last.”

I try to keep that in mind and process as part of my general acceptance of things. Caring for Junior and Lily, walking them, throwing the ball, all of that is easier now and doesn’t drain me. My physical condition is far better now than it was six months ago.

Is that the same sort of thinking that says that watching sports on TV is exercise???
