   That pic leaves out (at least in my case) and additional bicycling frame as   
   I continue to ride after age 60. It also leaves out my two stints with a walker   
   thanks to hip replacements thanks to tons of pavement running, soccer, and   
   free training.   
      
   Anyway, I'll be 67 soon and happy to still be physically acive, in spite of my   
   pudge and my computer addiction.
