As this body grows older, the aches and creaks become more pronounced. The muscles aren't as elastic, the endurance doesn't last quite as long, the soreness takes longer to go away. But that does not stop me from doing things in this collection of skin and bones. As the years go by, I find myself saying yes to things I wouldn't have done two years ago, setting goals that weren't in mind before. Perhaps this is my manifesto against an aging body. This is my refusal to accept the slowdown. I don't go as fast anymore? I'll just play longer.
