Thanks Joe. Ya, being realistic, it may not be for me. I'll see if I can find a club or something and go watch and talk to someone. I'm not in the best of shape physically, which is kind of why I'm looking for something, but this may be reaching for the stars. I just get bored with the usual aroebics, jogging, ect. I guess I'm going thru my midlife crises thing.
I've got the Mercedes, but can't get the young blonde to go with it(Narrow minded wife
), so I'm looking to wake up my life somehow. This is something I've actually thought about for 10 years or so now, so it's not like I've all of a sudden decided on it. In another 10 years, well, at the rate I'm going my ass will be attached to the armchair too much
