Socializing (AKA Spring is here)

[bhorne at banet.net (Bill Horne)]

Scott,

Almost 30?  Jeeze, what are you doing hanging around with old 
farts like me?  Next thing you know, you'll be trying to learn 
Morse code and get on Ham radio - uh, never mind.

Ah, if I was only 30 again ...

... I can't remember what I'd do if I was 30 again, but I'm sure 
it'd be more fun than mowing the lawn and fending off 
life-insurance salesmen and investment counselors and condo 
hawkers.

Anyway, assuming you're interested in the opposite sex, try 
Community Boating:  it's cheap, fun, and a great way to get 
dates.  In fact, it's where I met my wife.

Now, if I can only remember why ...
