Welcome back, good to see you're still kicking, some of us were wondering.

More than kicking, I hope!

I just broke off to lift two 32 kg (two 70+ pound) kettlebells.
(That's more in total than my body weight).

At 73, I need to continually fight the battle against sarcopenia.
I was weedy when young and got worse with age through neglect.
Without sufficient strength and stamina to keep going with heavy camera gear all day, I can't do the photography I want.

At your age some people are already dead, although it is a fight I'd say you're doing pretty good considering!

I like to quote Tom Lehrer on this "It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years."
