last year, I went to a friend's nephew's birthday party, which was at a gymnastics facility. The people there allowed the young ones to play on the floor, the foam pit, and other apparatuses (er.. apparati?) in any case, they told us that the adults were not allowed on the equipment.

When I asked why, they mentioned that adults hurt themselves the most because they can no longer do what they think they can do.

I scoffed.

I was not given the opportunity to prove them wrong, however, and I just sat through the length of the party playing battleship with Luis.

last week, I was asked to sub for an indoor soccer game... it had been a few months, and as it has been shown to me, I am no longer as young as used to be, and every day I get farther from it.

the mind knows, but the body does not want to respond. It is very much the reason that practice makes perfect. You body gets into the rhythm of the motions that must be used to do that which you need it to do.

of course.

bottom line.

I slipped up three times, after I beat my defender.

my legs wouldn't move the way I wanted them to move.
