   *You're* jealous? I was just humping a bump on the earth. My brother is   
   hitting the Rockies mid-March! But he can't ski or board yet though, so   
   there *is* some justice.

   That's tragic, sorry to hear that.

   You might like cross-country skiing. Very peaceful, no hazards, and it's   
   a great workout.

   A few yrs older. I spent all of my teens and twenties doing racket   
   sports; thought I'd try out some of the 'dangerous' stuff while my body   
   can still take the beating. If you're not crazy and reckless on the   
   slopes, I think it's possible to handle it through your fifties and even   
   sixties. I plan to continue doing everything I'm doing now until my   
   seventieth, and then, as I told Diana, I'll be channelling all my   
   energies towards the drums.
