Exercise is a great tool for keeping one fit and healthy, and I must admit that I don't get enough of it. But I am still fairly active. Weather permitting, I play golf most days, and I will soon be in the great outdoors hunting the elusive whitetail deer.

Winter traditionally has been a bad season for me. The coming of the deep snows makes it difficult to get out and about in my neck of the woods, but for the first time I plan to join a fitness club and see if it will make the winter a little more interesting while I still remain active.

Every day I see folks out jogging or trotting, and I wish I could join their ranks, but my knees are so bad that I can no longer participate in such activities. When I was young, I engaged in many outdoor sports, but Father Time has a way of slowing one down, both mentally and physically, and one has to adapt to the changing seasons of life.
