I was about half way home, the roads had a bit of snow on them and some guy slows down and yells out his window "Get off the road you nut" Little did he know how great he really made me feel. I replied, "Thank you very much", but I don't think he was interested in my reply. You see, being branded a "nut" is a positive thing to me. Being a nut, means I'm different than most people.

Being a "nut" means I'm not sitting on my butt getting fat and yelling at the "nuts" on the road. "Nuts" are cyclists, walkers and runners, basically anything or anyone who isn't contributing to global warming. Me? I'm out on my bike, staying fit, saving the planet, burning calories, and having the time of my life while doing it. Ah it's great to be a "nut".

You see being called a "nut" is quite common for me. My daughter thinks I'm a "nut" and I know she loves me. She says alot of people talk about me, yes they think I'm a "nut" as well.

I'm too old to do what I do, it's too cold to do what I do, it's too hot to do what I do, it can't be good for me to do what I do. I've heard all the reasons I've been branded a "nut" and I laugh at all of them.

You see this "nut" has been blessed with great health, a great attitude toward life, and a true appreciation for fitness, physical activity, and the wonderful effect it has on your mind, body and soul. Want to become a "nut" and start enjoying life? It's not to late.
