I've got the hair loss (please God, let propecia work), 10 extra pounds around the middle, and I'm working on the aches and pains. I'm curious to see how well the Tae Kwon Do will help me out in the kayak. Since I started TKD again 6 months ago I have vastly increased my flexibility (although I'm not as flexible as I was the first time I did TKD in high school). >Dave Seng (not an Old Fart yet, but getting closer every day) I have one of those frightening birthdays coming up in less than a month. One of those that ends in '0'. Alright, only 30, but still frightening. I mean, who do I trust? >Juneau, Alaska I have got to figure out how to move back to Alaska. Right now I have a chance to move even farther from AK. My employer (Instinet) has offered me the chance to transfer to New York City. On the plus side it would be a lot closer to good ocean paddling than Kansas City. On the negative side, it's New York City. Mel (30 ain't Old Fart is it? Please say it ain't so.) --- There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't. --== Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/ ==-- Share what you know.
