I feel younger at 50 than I did at 40 or 30. Cigarettes, bad food, a little too much booze, a lot of late nights at work, and no exercise will do that to you.

So I started trying to clean up my act in early 2000. Little by little I've been able to eliminate one or two bad things per year. I knew that I was making good progress, and then it happened: In May The Bike got me. It was painful for a few months, but I persevered.

Today, only seven months later, I feel invincible. Age really is just a number. The body heals itself if you'll only give it a chance.

This song has always been a favorite of mine for some reason. I always thought it had something to do with John Lennon retreating from public life with Yoko.

But now I know why I like it. I think it's really about bicycles.


Merry Everything, and Happy Always, whatever you choose celebrate this month.
