Best of luck to our noble friend, George.
He doesn't complain. He doesn't criticize. He doesn't whine. He doesn't boast. He just provides help to others.
You're in California, George. Land of alternative therapies and such. Hope you check out some yoga, tai chi, Feldenkrais, Alexander Technique, massage, and/or other methods to keep the fluidity in your spine.
Best of luck,
Beakybird
