i have this thing about kiting full speed at wood/metal objects protruding out of the water with the intent to make contact with it.
i call this thing "my rational train of thought" and i have usually been good at abiding by it.
i have this other thing, its in my wallet, called my "drivers license" which shows my birthdate that is quickly moving further and further away which means that my bones are more brittle and require more healing time than they did about 20 years ago when i might be excited about taking on said water lodged man-made structure(monster).
i am truly too old for that shit.
