Life's Learning Curve

This episode presents Paul’s life adventures peddling a two-wheeler. -Just recently, riding his bike put Paul in a satisfied state of mind. Mentally Paul felt 18 years old again. Soon Paul began to assume he looked that way as well. Feeling healthy and upbeat, Paul I stopped to let traffic pass. As he did, he glanced up and saw himself in the reflection of a local bakery. “Who is That???!?!?!? Oh, no! That’s an old guy. That’s ...ME. What happened?” Time happened. “I thought growing older would take longer?!?” Therefore Paul can say this: Life is just like riding a bike, you never forget how to do it, but just don’t expect yr mental image to match your true to life physical image! -Paul reveals his life’s adventures some great people and unforgettable journeys from the seat of his bicycle. Do not regret growing older. It’s a privilege denied to many. -Just like riding a bike eh?

Freshman year at a downstate university. Paul’s friends told him how lucky he was to be going away and NOT having to go to a local community college. But something happened, things didn’t turn out like he thought they would. It was 1976, and the mid midwest was headed for its most hot and humid fall ever. Life threw Paul several unexpected life-changing learning curves which almost took him out for good. -So Life’s Learning Curve packs up their hotplates & mini fridges & travels downstate for freshman year. It’s those unexpected things in life, where you learn to sink or swim. Making changes & adjustments in life are the components of a person's true character.
