when they nail my coffin shut!
I am twice as old as most people on VBLI but can hang with all of you. I'm just as addicted, and just as competitive. But I hang out with younger people, work a very physical job, play in leagues 3 times a week, hike the mountains around my state, and have a much younger outlook on life.
I once went to a draw tournament and was placed on a team with young college players. They did not want to set me, and played around me. until I blocked the big guy on the other team and was able to run down my own team's shanked passes. When they finally set me, they realized I could play ball with them.
A few gray hairs, some wrinkles, and a 5'10 frame looks old to you. But the drive and heart is still there. And the men's Senior Olympics team here has been watching me and can't wait til I turn 50!
So don't count us out yet. I may be able to teach you a thing or two. |
