...Sabrina...

Is this Sabrina an announcer at the Heavy Athletics events for the various highland games in Nor-Cal? If so, I've spoken with her before. Nice lady.

I don't know why I waited until I was 43 to give this a try. If you haven't tried competing yet, what are you waitying for? Give it a shot!

Some play bagpipes - but not me; some throw heavy rocks - but not me; some make kilts - now we're talkin'!

Congratulations on your competition, and good fortune in your training. I'll be in Woodland to cheer you on.

And some men can drink in heroic quantities. That shouldn't be me.

Good show. I know you enjoyed it.

The only time I even tried something like that was at the "clan challenge" at the Culloden Highland Games in Georgia a few years back. As I was in the thirde even--weight throw--it occured to me that I was the only person out there over 40 and that I had no business being there at all. There was my back to think about and a' that an' a' that.

Even then, I immensely enjoyed learning about the events. It was cool, even if I was too old.
