>>So you are 90 years old?.  Now I understand why you have departed from the
Canadian norm of politeness. A visit to your gerontologist should fix
that.<<<<<<

 

No I've got 10 years to go to make 90! However, I'm fully looking forward to
it so I can. " still kick ass if necessary!" :-) And not be sitting around
doing diddly squat waiting to stop breathing! That ain't going to happen in
any event for a long time yet!! Be prepared!

 

Quite frankly I do hard ass 1 hour work outs with a personal trainer 3
mornings a week, some of the young guys just shake their heads watching!
Plus power walking most other mornings, a minimum of  half hour. WHY?
Because I don't believe in all this mamby pamby whining crap about getting
old! Yep have a few aches some days, but screw it, get over it, there's lots
of folks worse off and I don't intend on joining them! 

 

It's quite simple really, stay young of heart, spirit and attitude and
you'll keep going! And do that what gives you the greatest enjoyment in
life... being a photographer, even if it's at a slower pace! 

 

You're right, we Canadian's are polite, sometimes to a point of stupidity.
When in fact we should give some peoples of the world a damn good kick in
the ass to wake up and stop screwing up the world!

 

Oh, and the gerontologist? Hell he wanted to give me Viagra the other day?
"Not necessary!" says I!! I'm not old enough, besides the world is still
standing just fine! ;-) I told him it wasn't necessary for young guys like
me who are going to survive as a photographer until I'm a 100! Told him to
call me in 20 years, I might need it by then! ;-) :-) It's called, "The Art
of Positive Thinking! ;-) 

 

And so you were saying?
