Well, I've always marched to a different drummer than that of most of my peers. Especially in the area of music.

Growing up, I was Mowtown and top 40, and then I discovered classical music and my interest in any popular genre faded to nothingness, almost. I did do a 10 year stint at Tower record to support my vinyl/cd habit and was exposed to a good deal of variety of music, much of which I liked, from the gamut of skinny puppy to Madonna. But, I did not listen regularly. I do find a good deal of my musical interest lies in more ancient than modern.

Food has always been an adventure and I'm game to try just about anything. I came to sushi later in life and would never turn back! Although, I do confess a few food items thought of as delicacies in other climes, turn me green at the thought of ingesting them.

Like GC, a skydive is something I've always wanted to do. Hang gliding as well. I find I drive faster as I get older (but it helps I have a bigger car) but I do not drive as recklessly as I did at 16.

I do remember crossing what I call the generational split. I was on the MUNI coming home from the office, reading my book, but could not help overhearing the conversation of the two 20 year olds in front of me. As I listened, I thought to myself, holy sh*t, I do not have any clue about the world they are living in, I have become my mother! It filled me with dread!

I hope I never become old in thought, I expect with the aging process being what it is, I will have no recourse but to physically be less vigorous eventually. But right now, I find that vigor increasing as I get my health back and the weight is dropping off bit by bit.
