Mark's Notebook

Maybe you should sell your bike on ebay

(a reader response)

This response from Paul Gaboury:

Hey Mark that sounds like a horrible and painful accident. When I was 65 my dad advised me i was too old to do my lifestyle and slow down. Not knowing how old you are am unable offer clinical advice. At 75 I retired from hockey when had hip replacement but  that was a piece of cake and no pain whatsoever. At 81 quit skiing as couldn't balance--for instance today at 89 walked into a door opening, scraped off a typical elbow scab and bled all over looking for bandaids. Have quit my golf club and square dancing but Dale and I enthused over ballroom dancing--class lessons twice a week, and we go to black tie supper dances once a month.

So think about it. Maybe you should sell your bike on ebay and concentrate on your dancing. Somewhat safer.

Say hi to Mary for us.

Paul

Paul, thanks for the best chuckle I've had all week!
