at age 39, 95% of the population who had not already tried sushi would try sushi

When it came to tongue piercings 95% occured between the ages of 16-23

I'm over 35 and while being willing to listen to new music, I find I don't have the energy to seek it out myself. I have been falling away from music entirely lately, and listening to NPR nearly exclusively, with AM1070 as a backup.

I'm under 39 but I love sushi. I'm perfectly happy to try new food though some of the ... "delicacies" make me cringe. I'll try it, but wow. Can't believe some of the things people call food.

Piercings... not so much a fan of them. I have considered a tattoo, but it would have to be something meaningful to me, not just "it was pretty". I work with guys who have "just-because" tattoos and I wonder what they'll think when they are my age. I know I wouldn't want them.

Sky-diving: still on the to-do list.
Shark diving: still on the list.
Bungee jumping: not so much. Not afraid, just not interested.
Scuba diving: certified, just don't like the water all that much.

The newest hobby in the ABG house is biking. Hubby and I bought bikes and since May I've put nearly 700 miles on mine. He's got over 900. Our city is small enough that bicycles are perfect; I can be nearly anywhere in town within 3 miles. Makes me happy though I'm not sure it counts as adventure.
