My wife is fine with me racing my SCCA 944 and flying airplanes, but would be uncomfortable with me riding a bike. So I don't.
Several years ago I shattered a leg skiing. Spiral fracture of the femur.
"I bet you'll never ski again, huh?" Geez, how many times did I hear that? Yes, I still ski. What do people expect? That I sit in a rocking chair, afraid that I might tip over backwards?
I'm going to enjoy life, and balance the risks and rewards.
I'm going to fly.
I'm going to ski.
I'm going to race.
I'm going to hike in the wilderness.
Someday when they put my body six feet underground, I hope it's pretty worn out....
