met a race car driver at the hospital today. 69yo former marine. holy shit the stories he told. poor guy will lose his right big toe (or even foot) after catching some random infection in a swimming pool. bye bye toe. hello retirement he says. for someone still wanting to race competitively that is a killer. he was telling me about another driver who raced until he was 90yrs old, died of heart attack right as he was putting on his helmet for his next race. guy died laughing with a smile on his face. guess the moral is to do what you love for as long as you can and it is never too late until it is definitively too late. maybe i will start taking racing lessons.
