Ah, the joys of getting less than younger. Why DOES this have to happen? I suppose it is better than the alternative, but still makes me vewy vewy angry...to quote a friend of ours from ohso many years back on a Saturday morn. Your Ferris line sure cracked me up to the Nth.
Glad you are still kickin butt in the exercise realm, it really does help. I've gone back to lifting weights again, though just on my own, since I don't dress correctly the part, and I like to do it on my own time, but it seems to really help a lot. Though as you say, the old comeback just ain't what it used to be. As they say, getting older sure isn't for sissies, and I am a big one. Though I am older than you too, so nanner nanner on that front...oh grow up, DD.
So glad you can find ways to keep fit though, and keeps our bones stronger too, which means less problems later on. Well, hope this finds you happy and healthy and only going 97 mph these days. Keep on keepin on, and keepin it as real as allowed or within the bounds of the law. Cheers from the west-side,
Ze Pan de Flatte.
PS.. I keep expecting a cliffside rodent to suddenly sploosh into the photo on top, but no matter how long I stare, all I get is immobile fishes. Large Sigh[HERE]
Ahh, Pan of domestic ware, how I have missed thee! Glad to hear that the Ferris line gave you mirth, I find quotes and quips from old movies and shows are super great in so many applications and situations. Of course now people tend to quote memes and Youtube personalities, and I can't lie for there are times when I am interacting with the adolescents that I engage in such quipery.
Still going 97 and a quarter mph as usual, although the other day I spent the afternoon lounging in my bed and reading not one but two books, it was glorious and made me think seriously about retiring from the public sphere to a blissful, introverted life full of lavender iced tea and classical literature. However, my offspring still have about five years til they are grown, so I guess I have something to look forward too.
Okay, so I am so beyond curious what encompasses DD exercise attire? I tend to rarely dress the part and am currently working on my summer outfit of shortalls and custom dyed tennis shoes. Honestly I would love a purple pair of coveralls and a bow tie, as the part of the world where I live is being invaded by all manner of clothing conformists. Do you pump iron while wearing a hickory shirt? I am sooo intrigued!!!!
And you may be older than me, but it's pretty apparent that you are most definitely the more grown up one, as I am perennially distracted by infantile observations and awes, lol lol!
Hope you are having a great weekend my feathered pal, and if I could I would animate a "cliffside rodent" to fall in that pool of floating snacks....hmmm....

I fear my workout gear is a bit tired. Old sweats, T-shirts from my days of running, before my knees made me quit, and fancy schmancy blue and black biking gloves with holes in them. Yikes, I'm a sight. Then again, who cares, since fashion gave up on me years ago. HH and I joke, we're not fashion plates, more fashion platters... ( :
Though I do still wear hickory shirts in the woods when bushwacking about photo-ing and mushrooming with her, or when working on the farmstead. Then I just look downright cool O :
Oh, ourbig dreams, they certainly are large and grand, when we are the dreamer...
Ha haa, I've never been accused of being grown up. Then again, as my good friend Brillo from Peck was want to say in our hootch at Slate Creek Ranger Station years back, "growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional". I've lived by that code since before I got much taller than 'that'.
Your gear does sound quite fetching. I hope one day to see some of your gettup garb, it all is quite creative.
Well, I must go do some things today. I hope all is well in Katville. Cheerios, my friend, le' Panne
