1. As we get older, things tend to break instead of bend

Reflexes are slowed, strength is diminished, ability to concentrate ebbs...

Unfortunately, the change is so gradual, we don't always recognize our growing limitations. Too bad for this person and his family. At least he died doing what he loved.

he was on the Valhalla trail.
