Not really. From time to time I take walks, go bicycling, play soccer, baseball or garageball (a backyard game my 12-year-old invented), but it’s not regular. Have you bought any Bacon Salt? ---

No, but I sure would like to try it… as scary as it seems… I’ll be sure to bring along a parachute. Ever get a good idea, build upon it, finish it, then later find out that someone already created it and did a better job at it? ---

Yes. I know that’s how they earn their living, but I’m in a commission-only job – if I did as poorly as they, I would simply be out of luck. Have you ever used your position behind someone on a set of stairs to place your head underneath their buttocks and give them a “head-butt” ride to the top?
