But that doesn't mean that I wouldn't _like_ to. > Allen Sorry to hear that, Allen. Back problems I've had since I was 29 when I lifted a billiard table and twisted my back; from time to time it's back and I can hardly move. And I got rheumatism, but here in Portugal it's much better. Specially when it's very warm. I lived in Holland before: very wet and cold. I hardly came out of the house anymore and pain was my only buddy. It sometimes seems unfair: as we get older and wiser (well, at least we should ;-), we can't do what we want to anymore. The trick is to see what we *can do*, not what we can't and get the most out of it. After all, it's just one big school; a lifelong term of learning. -- Focus |
