As many have noted, this list is populated by a lot of folks who are in their "middle years". I thought that you might be interested in a MacArthur Foundation study of middle age, which contains a number of interesting conclusions, among them that the "mid-life crisis" is largely a myth, and that the middle years are frequently the best years of one's life. I was also quite pleased to read that, according to the survey's respondents, middle age begins at 44. This means that I am not yet middle aged! (Either that or a lot of us early-middle agers are in denial.) You can read a summary of the study's findings at the following site: http://www.seattletimes.com/news/nation-world/html98/midl_021699.html Dan Hagen *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

I've been working for some time on the basis that the age at which MI begins can be calculated by adding 5 years to my age. That puts it currently at 55.

......naw, a sure sign is the Porsche. And metriculous, experimental facial ornamentation. I have both sure signs, although admittedly the Porsche resides somewhat ingloriously inside the engine compartment of a multi-colored '73 VW Camper Van. I need be much less patient these days. We don't really know 'xactly how fast she'll go but we got her up to the "h" on the MPH logo on the bottom of the Speedo where no numbers live..........;^) Which reminds me..........here I am trying to put together a surf boat in the garage and fuming and generally working myself into a lather about an appropriate" mold release agent" any of you out there have any experience with mold release agents or wax? And could you steer me in the correct direction? Many thanks Chris Dan Hagen wrote: > As many have noted, this list is populated by a lot of folks who are in > their "middle years".
