I am 58 and don't have arthritis or chronic back problems, something for
which I am eternally grateful. But, I am out of shape and have become a
"person of girth".
I also have a friend of the female persuasion who would very much like to
have a "water feature" in a steeply-sloped back yard. This "water feature"
has about 35 feet of "streams" connecting three collecting pools, all of
which feed into a waterfall and then a pond.
I am also an idiot who, along with our friend Ed, volunteered to help. Ed is
60, but does this sort of thing for a living. It doesn't seem to bother him.
It does seem to bother me. Most nights I go to bed feeling as I had been
professionally beaten.
This has got to be ironic .. I can't even begin to think about "redeeming"
all those brownie points I hope I've been accumulating.
