Wait again!!

I spent my childhood in the high Arctic. And while it was an unique 
and enjoyable experience, now that I've been a (relative) southerner 
for about 45 years, I'm not sure that I want to return to the Arctic 
in order to enjoy kayaking.

If I promise not to reproduce, can I be granted an exemption to 
paddle southern waters? Although I have reproduced, or so I'm told, 
the result has zero interest in kayaks. If it's not a drum that he 
can hit with a stick, he's not interested at all. He only interacts 
with other drummers (I hate to think of *that* gene pool!!)
