Not too many aches and pains so far, though. I'm relatively healthy. Life is good.

Back in my late teens, early to mid 20s, I had some pretty good hops.

I stand just under 5'7" tall and could touch the rim when I jumped.

Haven't been able to do that for a longass time now, especially since I blew out my knee years ago.
