We Still Do

You ever watch videos about some old retired Marine boxer knocking out some would-be crook?

Like this old fella you wouldn't think much of looking at, just rocking a fool to sleep.

Nighty night.

I would watch them in silent admiration.

Good for you, old man.

You still got it.

Hands are the last thing to go.

And I suppose that's the fate of every man blessed to age past their youth.

When they reach a seasoning where other men no longer find them dangerous upon sight.

And I know that there's a whole school of thought about how being dismissed as weak is actually a benefit, but I dunno.

I dunno.

Thankfully, we have all these force multipliers.

Makes a fight even, even when it ain't.

I'd encourage all of you to look into them, if you haven't.

Follow the law, of course.

...

I do wonder, if I'm honest, if I still got it.

I wonder if you do, too.

...

May you and I never have the need to find out.

But if we do, may we find we still do.

And then some.

🤜🤛
