When I was in my 50’s, I was helping my brother move, when I came across my old skateboard. I had given it to my nephews. My brother lives at the top of a steep hill. I thought it would be cool to ride it down. Half way down the hill the board was going so fast there would be no way to jump off. I thought to myself, “What the hell am I doing? If I survive this, it will be the last time I ride a skateboard.” I leaned forward and rode it all the way down. I haven’t touched one since.
The first skateboards had hard rubber wheels. Any little pebble would halt the skateboard in a second. Good luck keeping on your feet when that sucker stopped.

Well Chaz, I guess you are going to get old and die. Unless you keep doing silly stunts and skip the “get old” part.

Thus the “growing up is optional” part of life.

Then let him buy a convertible. The man needs his mid-life crisis.

I suppose some things we don’t out grow, we just wisen up. Usually, just after we break something.
