Growing Old, Acting Young (article)

Growing Old, Acting Young (link)

This past year, my loving wife threw me a Yakudoshi party, a traditional Japanese celebration of a man's 41st birthday (more a local Hawaii custom nowadays). Legend has it that this is a year of danger for men, when their bodies start to show their age and change for the worse. Well, it seems that this legend may be legit...

As usual, a really well written reflective piece.

Wait till they stick ya in the close out section, ...then you worry.

Neal this article is one of your finest, it really struck a cord with how I think most surfers feel. Well written :)
