Does Age Quash Our Spirit of Adventure?

On my list - shark diving for sure. It isn't age or lack of adventurous spirit that stops me. It's money, plain and simple. There are a lot of fairly adventurous things I'd love to try, but that money thing trumps most of them.

The older I get, the more I desire to travel, largely because I have done very little of it in my lifetime, and I'm starting to dread that my clock will run out before I manage to see the world.

One reason I don't like a lot of current music is that I don't find it nearly adventurous enough! I definitely rely on friends with eclectic tastes to introduce me to new music. (The LoT is a good place to be for that.) I admit that with age, I am no longer investing as much time investigating new sounds. The reward to effort ratio hasn't been as good lately, and that is probably a function of "nothing sounds new to me."
