    I’ve always worked out fairly regularly but recently I picked up distance running. Had always hated it before but I’m warming up to it. Ran the chevron Houston half marathon last weekend and I’m signed up to run the Woodlands half in March, along with a bunch of 10k runs. Might try to run the full in a year or two

    Salt water fishing and floundering, fresh water fishing (have our own pond, biggest bass caught so far is 8 lbs), chillen w/my chilren and wifey, shooting, I like golf-but it hurts my back. Dove hunting, going to church, checking up on my forums.
    The problem with socialism is, eventually you run out of other peoples' money.

    Your happy place can come in a lot of different ways. Golf, art, kids sports, religion and so one. I have found mine. I hope all of my Downlow friends find theirs........ whatever it may be. After all......... everyone needs a hobby!!!
    I forgot to add listening to polka music. Scoop, sometimes I laugh at you.......and sometimes I laugh with you. But what I'm thinking is we need a meet and greet. For some reason I think of you as the Robert D. Raiford of the Downlow. And if you don't know who that is by all means Google him. An interesting character indeed.
