Thoughts on The Invitation - part 2

Continuing my interpretations...

2. "It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dreams, for the adventure of being alive."

Boy this one should have been titled, Dear CJ. There are those out there who think I am going through some kind of mid-life crisis (Denita Lynn) but the truth is I am not in a crisis at all - I just refuse to act my age. Last week my buddy and I decided to learn how to ride the kids' RipStick (new skateboard thing with just two wheels). Of course our wives thought we were crazy and were betting good money we would end up in the hospital, but we managed to learn with no broken bones and our pride intact. Who says skateboards or bicycles are for kids only. I want to be around to play with my grandkids one day and the only way I know to do that is to stay active. To get out there and LIVE life, not just stand on the outside watching it go by. I will gladly risk looking like a fool for a chance to be alive.

Anybody for a game of hopscotch?
