:Ken,

Great to hear from you! Perhaps I'll start searching the internet about your new hobby, as it looks exciting! (We just had a major air show in Rhode Island, and a buddy's son is in the AF is flying the F-16, so anything in the air is appealing to me.

Kayaking days are over for me ---current project is a "row-13" from www.bateau.com. Hoping to use this for my physical therapy after a "C4-T4 anterior/posterior spinal fusion with instrumentation" scheduled for next Friday in Boston. Hope they tourque down the drywall screws tight - otherwise I'll look like Frankenstein with the bolts protruding from my neck!

I'm always amazed at how many things that you can do, and do them all well! I'm a rank amateur in comparison, but you do provide the inspiration to go and try new things. Thanks for the post.

John B.
