Christmas Afterglow

David B

All the presents have been opened, carols sung, and special meals eaten. Flannel Pajama Pants for dad (typical), new running watch for wife (she is a fitness freak) and a few substantial presents for my boys. They are past the age where Walmart toys satisfy them.

Here is my youngest son Anthony on the new Mountain bike he got for Christmas. It's his first adult size bike (Giant Talon 27.5"). He just turned 10 a few months ago. I taught him how to ride a bike when he was 6. He actually wanted a "computer to play games," but I felt a new bike would be more appropriate and not promote sedentariness. It was a surprise and he is very happy with it. Although, he says he would still rather have a computer. 😀

God Bless,
David

I got the same for a second year in a row, what’s with our wives?! 🤣

Nice bike! Mine is also 27.5 down from my previous 29 whose enormous size I blamed for the fall that put me in hospital with two surgeries 8 years ago. And I’m 182cm tall but kids are growing fast, so in a year he might even outgrow that bike 😉

Come on David: you make a video praising the wonders of a piano bench, and complain about sedentariness?!? Maybe you need to practice some walking bass lines? 😊

I've actually experienced more discomfort since I started playing the piano. My body wasn't used to sitting in that position and working the pedal continually. That's why I bought the ergo top Hidrau. It's for health reasons (that's what I told my wife 😀).

God Bless,

CyberGene so in a year he might even outgrow that bike 😉

My older son Adrian (15) is already a bit taller than me. He's 5'10.5" (that half inch is important to him). I'm hoping this bike will last Anthony a few years (at least until he hits puberty).

God Bless,
David
