Belly dancing? I think you are never too old for that, or at least the courses advertise themselves for any age and size and so on.
Fighting? Some methods are less suitable as you get older, but others are just fine at any age. Like death touch.

or, is it like the firestone guy said, that i ought to replace them every 6 months cause in north texas we get subfeezing temps in winter and triple digit temps in summer and nothing holds up longer than 6 months.?

Oh, are you back to Flamenco? The best dancers are the fat old gypsy grandmothers, believe it or not. If you can find a class, you'll learn sevillanas first, which are complex but not very demanding physically, and an immense amount of fun. Then Soleares, a slow but very deep form. The fast dances like Alegrias and Bulerias can be very taxing.

I watch the roadsides for anything odd - but it took me a couple split seconds to process what I was seeing.
Yeah, I figure the turtle was close to 2 feet, head to end.

Ronjazz, I'm way impressed you play it. I'm not a player or a dancer, but I spent most of my life around musicians and that's one of my favorite musical forms.
Libby, lifelong Mets fan | Homepage | 06.08.08 - 12:34 am | #
it was the biggest challenge of my musical life, and I've really done little else for many years but practice and play the guitar, both jazz and classical. Flamenco bent my mind in a big way, and thoroughly changed my life. I went to Cordoba to learn from the gypsies and Paco Pena, and not a day goes by without some work being done on Flamenco rhythms.

now these things look NEAT - and they claim they have continuous even pressure along the entire blade. that's the problem, when i run the wipers several spots get missed, and then i get mad and start swearing because i can't see as well as i ought to be able to see. i'll order them and also do the rain x. soon as the new bosch from today start missing spots i'll put these on.

Andalucia is the center for Flamenco, and different towns have given rise to different styles and particular dances. Cordoba style has a Moorish tinge that I like, and the thumb-driven techniques of Moron de Frontera work well for me. Granada has a more sophisticated style, lovely melodies.

General Odom had no reason to make waves, but he did, anyway. As President Reagan's National Security Adviser, before he died, he put himself on record to characterize Bush's Iraq war as a "folly". He didn't have to come out out of retirement to do that.

I stayed at the Hotel Maimonedes, across from the Mezquita bell tower, which had speakers installed that played Flamenco from Cordoba on the hour. I played a concert in the Mezquita, and attended several as well. You can't tell me the Middle East was or is primitive. the Mezquita is one of the great human accomplishments.
