It's a bit like time travelling and in a blink of an eye you are somewhere else in time :) except that you creak a bit more than you did before :)

Happy BDay Oliver.

I just found out that my 23 year old son has made me a granddad. Holy shit I'm getting old.

Damn, that really is enough to make you feel old :)

I didn't get into this fatherhood malarkey until I was 36.....too busy partying, getting drunk and falling over a lot prior to that :)

Got my back brace on as I type. However tomorrow is a gym day, and that usually cures the backache for the rest of the day......

Funny you should say that. I always suffered from back problems until I started going to the gym 5 months ago now, and almost instantly my back problems went away. Makes you use and strengthen those muscles that modern life doesn't use. I'm still going to the gym 3 times a week (mon, wed, fri) and never felt better !

I also go to the gym 3x weekly in the winter, and 6x weekly in the summer. In the winter I ride my bicycle Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, in the summers I ride the stationary bike in the gym those days.

I also use the treadmill Monday Wednesday and Friday in the summers, during the winter months I walk the 2-1/2 miles round trip to the gym.

Motion is lotion.
