Dave, Carol told me the mind was the second thing to go - I forgot what the first thing was!

Sorry about the typo - It's still the S-950. The damned PC keys should be farther apart.

Donny, if 70 is today's 50, does this mean when I'm 90 I can still have the mind of an 18-year-old?

Now, if you guys ever decide to venture south of the Maxon/Dixon line again, the offer to go sailing still stands. In reality, I've got the boat rigged so it's actually pretty easy to sail, but there are times when hauling that 80-pound main sail up the mast can be a bit challenging. Other than that, the rest is pretty easy. Just set the sails in the right direction in relation to the wind, mix up a Green Coconut Margaretta, relax and take a quiet, leisurely sail down the Chesapeake. During mid week, I usually have the entire upper Chesapeake to myself. It's just me, the gentle breezes, balmy temperatures and enjoying the day watching the world go by. Most days I get to see a dozen or so American eagles swoop down on some unsuspecting fish that strayed too close to the surface - it's really neat to watch.

One of the other things I do while sailing is critique my performances. I take my video camera, or sometimes the Zoom H2 with me and playback some of the more recent jobs, then make mental notes of how to improve things. Like I said - I'm still learning, and watching or hearing yourself perform is a great way to determine what you do right, and of course, wrong.

Cheers,

Gary
