Aging and unicycing

One of the problems of aging is that we learn how vulnerable our bodies are and lose that inhibition and fearlessness that we have as children.  I would be riding the unicycle by now if I weren't afraid of falling.  I bought wrist guards (Allan wasn't sure how he was going to explain that I'd broken my wrist unicycling) and I'm using them in class.  But, I'm still relying on my teacher to keep me from falling.  I've brought a unicycle home with me, but I've been afraid to try it by myself.  I hereby set a personal goal this week is to try the unicycle in the parking lot outside of my house every morning.  Even if I only sit on it and balance, it's a start.
