“I retired 5 years ago. It’s been really fun. I workout a lot more than I used to. I recently had a big back surgery and was out of commission for 6 months. That was tough. It was a trial. Even before the surgery, it was getting to the point where I was pretty limited. I couldn’t ride my bike anymore. It really worked on my head. It really bothers me right now. I’m just weak. That will change. It‘s getting better. I’ve tried to stay fit my whole life. It’s really hard to imagine that I’m 70 years old. I don’t feel like I’m 70. I don’t sit around very much. My dad couldn’t sit still. I’m a little clone of my dad. To me, that’s the whole key. It isn’t just going down to the YMCA and working out for an hour. It’s not sitting on your butt all day that’s important. You burn a hell of a lot more calories standing than you do sitting.”
