How it all started with me


Hi all,

 

If you want to know how it all started with me. (Skip if this post is too boring) Well it was like this.

 

During my regular medical checkups, my doctor as usual with all his patients, had always advised me to do some physical activities at least three or four times a week to stay healthy. He also advised me to change my lifestyle.

 

So I did what was advised and complied. I know a couple of tricks and cheat modes and the doctor wouldn’t know any difference. I actually walked in the park when I felt like it (to clear my hangovers) and I rode a mtb to boot. I walked about 3 K per week ala snail pace and I rode my mtb about 5 K per week. Riding my mtb was big deal, as it was 2 K more per week than walking.

 

My doctor (how did he know?) gave up on me and said finally “ Allen, You have this and that problem, and this, and this and also that, if I don’t see any progress in your health, please don’t come to see me again. You are wasting your own time. Not mine. I am duty bound to see you. But you don’t have to see me.” Bump!!  Can’t be a harder doctor/ patient relationship than that. Ok what next ?

 

Old school did a situational SWAT analysis. Maybe I can walk a bit more and the mtb is certainly too heavy. So I walked a bit more per week, and I relegated the mbb to my second son. May Senn got me a roadster to match my profile and outlook. Nothing fancy, just plain old school. The rest is history.

 

Boy did May Senn take me for a ride. Pun intended.

Thank You


Hi all,

 

Thank you Anonymous, Missjewelz, Kooky, Daoh, Arif and K3ski. I appreciate your prompt responds and warm welcome to my blog. I am amazed and for the life of me, I cannot understand what happened. How did you people get to see my blog so fast? I suppose Quantum theories will explain it. Internet activities move in wave form and not linear. And I suppose speed has always being relative. Take the case of the tortoise and the snail crossing the road one day. They crashed into each other and both were hospitalized in the same wad. The tortoise asked the snail what actually happened? The snail replied “Oh I really don’t recall, it happened so fast !”

 

Being old school, snoozing is quality time. But I’ll have to adjust my speedo (read grey matter) a bit faster to be in your loop. I can see the psyche behind your need for speed. You all still needs to be competitive. So Run Kooky Run, Go Julie Go. Kayuh Daoh Kayuh, Pump K3 Pump. Old school will still ride with you all but like the snail. Please don’t mind me.

The picture shows May Senn’s greatest fans and support. If you see us anywhere, don’t forget to say Hi. My gal’s name is Peggy AKA May Senn’s Mum.
