Re: [Paddlewise] Not young, never will be

>I'm just a young pup at age 40.
...I have a friend who used to tell his (small) kids that even though they
were getting older every year, *he* was getting younger.  They believed him
for a time.

....I'll be 58 in early 2000, and since I've been paddling these past 4 or
so years, I *have* been getting younger.  Just ask my (grown) kids, or my
co-workers.  This is something the psychologists should be told:  One's
inner child can be found in his/her cockpit!

    Nya nya...
