How Fragile It all Is

I made a shocking and sickening discovery tonight. I was looking at past National Championship results (yes, I know, I am a cycling nerd) and I made an observation for the 2003 TT. In the 13/14 category, out of the top fifteen riders, only FIVE of them are still racing. Intrigued, I quickly researched ALL of the 30 racers, glancing quickly at their race results. It was sad and depressing to see how many of them simply gave up the sport. It reminded me that I need to keep things in perspective. WE ALL need to keep things in perspective.
Then, there was another thing I noticed. Sitting pretty in 19th place was a familiar name. Alex Keomany! It's so fun to look back on past race results and see how my peers did when they were my age!
Well that's all for now.
See you later.

So does that mean you have not made your millions and do not plan to retire anytime soon?
