When we were married we had a two floor house. The second floor was terra incognita. There was a stoner couple next door in a house of about the same age. You could see a little flex in the upstairs bedroom floor as you walked across it. That was the waterbed era and they were thinking about getting one. 'Uh, Dave, not a good idea. Put the pipe down for a while and rethink the plan'. I've seen the future. There are three steps up to the deck and the old arthritic cat with house privileges takes them very slowly, one at a time. I trust her indoors since her days of jumping up on anything are a fond memory. So far so good though. I managed to put in 5.5 miles including 1200' of elevation gain today without dying. A young girl running up the trail passed me and I realized like the cat running through the woods ain't happening again in this lifetime.
