John, everybody says that I will never really grow up. I just keep getting older, fatter and and stuck in a body that no longer supports my curiosities and desires.

I admire Bush for doing his annual birthday parachuting jump but have never wanted to do it myself. I also don't want to jump off a platform with nothing more than a glorified rubber band holding on to me.

However, we went white water rafting in North Carolina last year. My wife didn't like the idea but went anyway. They were class 3. At the end I asked her what she thought of the experience. She said that she wanted to try some Class 4. We just might do that this year.

My goal is to do a dive in a shark cage but a trip to Africa($) just isn't in the cards.

It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

Without a sense of urgency, Nothing ever gets done.

Boy, if I say "sic em", you'd better look for something to bite. Sam Shelley Rancher and Farmer Muleshoe Texas 1892-1985 RIP
