1. Hell, if the story of Ray Moon can't get my sorry ass back in the gym, nothing can.
That's freaking amazing. To conquer polio, open heart surgery and other problems to get to that level...inspiring.

Thanks for posting this.

2. I could have gone my whole life without seeing an 80 year old wearing a banana hammock.
thanks...
