I'd like to but right now I'm recovering from a horrible hopscotch accident.

Oy! I'm starting think we can measure how old we are by the number of times people say, "Are you okay?"

You could write a whole essay on the Apple Watch!

I’m sorry. I just can’t relate. I’m 70 years old and I’m still riding my bike. I put the training wheels back on but so what?! It goes with the helmet I’ve been wearing for the last three years.

The author of this article seems like a nice guy. A little nervous, but a nice guy. I really would love to meet him someday.

Dan: Been there, done that. You have yet to hit 94. Get another bike.

Hahaha yes, falling is a thing.

My Apple Watch with fall protection ignored 2 rather graceful landings, but when I sneezed hard in a coffee shop, it blurted out “ARE YOU OK??!?” (It got excited once when I slammed my arm against a door, but no one witnessed me saying into my watch Dick Tracy style, “I’m fine”. ) When I first wore it, I had been reading, and it shouted “stand up!” I guess it had been an hour - I guess it wants you to move every hour - I shut that feature down immediately.
