Reminds me of my grandfather. My mom and grandmother had to keep reminding us kids that Grandpa had a bad back because he would do exactly what Ben is doing.

In my younger days I would play horsey with the neighborhood kids despite a bad back. They are some of my fondest memories, and I would not change a thing.
