Just when you think that you are smarter than all that nature can muster - wham -- you are brought back to reality.

Such has been the case with me for the last couple of days.  Thinking that my youth had not left me I decided to jump out a plane; ride a bike like Captain America; and for those of you old enough to remember - swim like Lloyd Bridges in Sea Hunt. 

Suprise, surpise  -- not likely.   I now have the most miserable summer head cold to remind me that you can't fool with mother nature.  I have never been one to believe in the adage:  "all things in moderation".  I believed that "grab what you can because it will be gone tomorrow".  Unfortunately my body is thinking otherwise.  So instead of walking around the outside of the restaurant at the top of the CN tower; or doing a solo parachute jump  -- I will hibernate for a few days and be ready to be stupid again by the middle of next week.  After all, I can use the excuse that I forget what I did last week and simply repeat it.

be good.
