During my physical examination, my doctor asked me about my physical activity level. He asked my to describe a typical day.
“Well, yesterday afternoon, for example, I took a five hour walk about 7 miles through some pretty rough terrain. I waded along the edge of a lake. I pushed my way through brambles. I got sand in my shoes and my eyes. I avoided standing on a snake. I climbed several rocky hills. I took a few ‘leaks’ behind some big trees. The mental stress of it all left me shattered and at the end of it all I drank a few beers.”
Inspired by the story, the doctor said, “You must be one hell of an outdoors man!”
“No,” I replied, “I’m just a rotten golfer…”

My husband loved this story too. Not too often can I get him to listen to me.
