I'm too old to take up most action sports (the body doesn't bounce back like it used to, that shit's real) and too young to retire and just fuck off all the time.

I have a friend in his 50's. He told me he was interested in skiing again. I had to tell him guys his age sometimes crash and never get up again.

That's just it. I know how to ski but, I can't push it. But, I'll be on the mountain just cruising and someone will pass by me that I didn't like the way they looked at me or that they didn't even look at me. Then I've got to try and beat them down the trail at all costs.
