I loved everything about this post Jack. The storytelling, the message, the inspiration to embrace a life of movement and sustain it. The man rowing with his legs. Stories of your grandpa Captain Morgan. As I age I struggle with the knowledge I need to keep moving, and the kind of joy I get from connected with others here in a chair online. Thanks for traveling and sending your tales back home, like an emigrant sends money back home from a land of abundance.

...what great inspirations Jack...when i daydream about being an old grouch i vacillate between working forever and whatever "retirement" might mean, and always land my dream on the thought that a life lived active, creative and productive is the life i am seeking...do i want "the grind" to decrease over time, sure...but i don't ever want to take a step back from going/doing/being...i want to surf at 125 and hike a mountain at 133 and to headbang in a pile of amps at my 142nd birthday party...
