Talking to Jim about this a few minutes ago..what did you like doing as a kid, you no longer do? One thing I really liked was tree climbing. I used to like climbing trees, but you never see anyone over the age of 12 in a tree..unless they are hunting or working orsomething. Another thing was rolling down a hill. That was a fun thing to do. I would probably get a huge wave of dizziness if I did that today. I think we got a bit dizzy as kids too, but it didn't bother me. Sleeping in the backyard under the stars..I wouldn't do that here, as there are too many bugs and insects here as compared to where I grew up. However, I could be persuaded to do it elsewhere.. What do you miss doing that you did as a kid?

Climbing trees and rolling down hills was so much fun, I used to love bike riding and swimming. Maybe I should put being able to run at the top of my list

OH I still swim and would ride my bike but it needs new tubes in the tires. Son could fix it definitely.

I liked to make noises with the wind in the car like ahhhhh going down the road fast with my head out the window and with the fan as well. The air distorts your voice.

Yeah, it could make you dizzy, but that was part of the fun.

I haven't seen other adults in trees, unless they had a reason to be there.

I could never do a split, or a cartwheel. Somersaults were the only thing I could do..and standing on my head, but I usually needed something to prop me up from behind.

Bicycle riding. Between my bad back and the lunatics on the road there is no way I’d ever do that again.

Oh it would be fine to ride a bike around here but just in the development. I wouldn't take it out on the main road. It's a fast highway..No Thank you.
