We had a middle-aged man in our class who had a real job as a butcher, and spent a lot of time in the freezer, and had equilibrium problems from water in his ears.<br /><br />I think I could almost beat him, some days.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-49242847870442190142016-08-30T22:26:44.531-04:002016-08-30T22:26:44.531-04:00I don't like tennis or any other sport that re...I don't like tennis or any other sport that requires a ball to be headed towards my face.

I mean NO talent. More recently I took a liking to the rather attractive (read: hot!) female tennis players. I was impressed until I discovered women's beach volleyball.

People with legs as short as mine aren't designed for running, so I need to trick myself into being more active.
