I talk too much about this kind of thing b ut this was such a sweet pay-off day…i have to mention it.

I had been thrashing around, all week, traveling and giving talks and stuff. Then up here to the Berkshires for the weekend. Today, after a full workout in the barn with Hilly (it really is the nicest little gym, and we found a huge, old fashioned TV, cheap, so we can watch games and the Sunday morning talk shows). Nice. But by then the weather was so sweet, I just popped on my bike – freshly tuned – and went for a cold, sunny spin in the fading leaves. Heaven.

And guess what: Most little old guys do not get to do all this stuff. Because they are not Younger Next Year,. Like all of us.
