And some of them are wild! I hope I'm never that desparate that I would go through all of that *just* because I *might* meet a woman that way. Anyway, the trick is not just to meet women. The trick is to meet women who share my interests. I'll accomplish that by doing the activities that I enjoy doing, not by choosing activities on the basis of how many women there are. I guess I'm lucky that I like skiing. It also attracts healthy, fun-loving people. And where else but on a ski lift line is it considered normal and proper to walk up to a young lady and ask, "Are you single?" -- "Don't shake the tree when the fruit ain't ripe" Seth Jackson Brought to you by Super Global Mega Corp .com
