Well, if you're anything like me, I weigh a whole lot more than I did when I was 12 . . . something about inertia and momentum and all that stuff. All I know is it hurts a lot more when I hit the ground!

(Taking some instruction in aikido was a really good idea for me - IOW learning how to fall. It sure helped when my horse and I took a spill in the hunting field - my body just automatically tucked and rolled and I was on my feet before I knew it.)

Hahahahha, yes, I do weigh considerably more now than I did at age 12. Wish I didn't. What is aikido? That sounds like something I should look into.
