How long can we keep going?

I recently saw a bike blog with a fictitious magazine article with a look into the future of how Armstrong predicts a return in the 2051 Tour de France. With age-enhanced photo it said he'll be 77 years old and still plans on riding. . . . I really doubt it, almost the same way as I doubt Brett Favre, at only 40 yrs old, will return after the beating he took by the New Orleans Saints playoff game. Lost, but only by 3.

I wonder if I'll be riding at 77. I hope I am at least still playing with my grand kids and hitting the golf course. (There, I blogged. seems Fb has taken over our communication sharing.)

Over or under, Coke or Pepsi . . .

How you prefer your toilet paper actually reveals a lot of what kind of person you are.

The same scientific study of which coke you drink, also exposes the real you.

*They both match your out-look on life - don't let either be a serious hang up - do what you wanna do, go where you wanna go; be yourself and learn to be flexible. (Sorry, I had to blog about something, don't believe a thing about any scientific studies on these two topics.)

Old McDonald

I can't believe I'm doing Farmville now.........don't laugh. Carol says to call it a "Zen Garden" as in therapy. What in the world do I need therapy for? I'm normal, stable, on the downhill side of life and an old man who should be fully retired by now. But, then I see there are those who take it way to seriously, have found ways to cheat or legally advance and out-score their neighbors and even written a book on it.

Maybe this explains why my blog page has not been updated very often. My life is consumed by Facebook, grandsons, golf, hang-gliding, crosswords, bike riding, work, husbandly things, bull-riding, cooking, laundry, tae-kwon-do, base jumping, football (which is almost over) and my love of reading. Not much time for anything else. But, I enjoy visiting other blogs :-)

This is a quick video I got via email at work, kinda says it all. Enjoy. Hope you can copy and paste if it's not already in the fancy format that allows you to just click on it

Random thoughts & musings

Why aren’t airport pat-downs done like a real cop would to them? (After Id done a few, I'd lost any embarrassment, especially when I did find a weapon or contraband!! If you’re too modest, don’t fly.) The repetitive second guessing and finger-pointing everyone is doing is getting old. I can’t think of many things scarier than seeing a fellow airplane passenger trying to ignite a bomb while on final approach ~ or at any other time. When will our homeland security and TSA directors quit bowing to public opinion and profile these idiots at borders and airports? Not ethnic, race or religious, but totality of circumstances. On other thoughts: Can I really eat healthy at Taco Bell? How does Brett Favre do it? It’s said that elephants never forget but what do they do that’s so memorable? Where was I going with this? Certainly, not to the airport … maybe someday, we'll all ride 'bullet trains' across the country in stead of flying.
Happy New Year everyone!
