makes you happier than speaking to kids nothing and the next time you're ready to give up or quit or packenham well if it helps even a little bit. remember the goofy looking guy that played the drums with his feet but remember the words i live by every day. there's no such word as can't. thanks. allen travels over one hundred thousand miles a year on his own but after thirty years on the road his body is starting to where it takes its toll career and that stuff around i mean you know my body may not last as long as normal bodies do because of what i'm putting it through i mean as much as i make this look easy i'm still put my body through a lot of stuff just the pain in my back from carrying my luggage scar tissue in my shoulder from carrying a briefcase for thirty five years and you know there's not really a shoulder here so what i'm carrying it with i should be doing this i should have like a sherpa or something. how does a guy without arms function on the road all by himself i carry my own luggage with
