Ben by Daniel Shelton for January 10, 2020

I agree. I used to live doing somersaults, but afraid to try it now.

Ben, you’re not 45 any longer.

As my grandmother often remarked, “Used-to died a long time ago.”

Well Ben, you have plenty of time on your hands. What’s a little time in the hospital.

Ben, not only has it been fifty years, it has been at least fifty pounds.

I’m sure somewhere in this world there is someone of Ben’s age that can still do flips. Sadly very few of us “older” folks have continued to stay in that kind of shape. Just enjoy watching your grand kids show off, knowing you once could do the same things. Let them be the hero’s.

Sure you can once you lose 50 lbs of fat and gain 20 lbs of muscle and then practice for at least 6 months.
