The beginnings, and some background.
The first question...why?
Because I think it's funny as hell to be in my 40's and feel like I've been run over by a truck, every morning, for no reason.
It's funny when my wife gives me shit about all things "old man."
Someone needs to document this.
Other old men with sympathize, etc.
Ok, so now the background.
Grew up in TN, on a farm.
Played in the woods, shot guns, camped.
Played a few sports: soccer, football, basketball, tennis, rode bikes, skated some.
Partied way to hard in my early 20's, had to quit drinking at 23.
Started whitewater kayaking.
Became a raft guide.
Went back to college. Got my B.S. in Ag business.
Worked as a bike mechanic, got into cycling.
Opened my own outdoor sports retail store in 2002, lost my brother in 2004, got married in 2005, closed up shop in 2007.
Got my Master's in Ag education.
Became a teacher.
Had 2 kids (well, I helped make them).
Took up paddle boarding.
Midlife crisis in full effect.
