   That's true and maybe my ol' bones couldn't take it, but I do remember how to   
   sit a horse.  It's just like riding a bycicle.

   If I survive my upcoming knee surgery and go west (that sounds familiar), I   
   just might be able to get on the saddle without help.  Only then will I know   
   which one of us is right, although I should point out I'm not disagreeing with   
   you -- I'm just stubborn when it comes to things I've done in the past.
