... I am old.

Today, I removed 24 feet of sod, 4 feet wide, and laid patio brick for a sidewalk. Looks good, I enjoyed doing the work. It was fun to do.

Now, I am sore - sore like I have never been in a long time.

I know I could lose 20 pounds, and be in better shape. I know I work a mentally stressful and intense job, not doing a whole lot of manual labor, but today was an eye opener.

I used to work 40 hours a week, manual labor and was a full-time student. I could take a shower and be fresh as a daisy. Not today!

I do yard work and stuff. I get out and do a lot of wading (fishing in the streams) when I have time. But I need to do more.
