I dunno... some of the comments above make me sound like an unadventurous, plodding old fart. I'm not like that, really I'm not.

Or am I?

When I say ``I would really like to fly but, having regard to my family responsibilities, I don't think I can justify the cost in the long term'', perhaps that automatically makes me a plodding, unadventurous old fart?

Perhaps it is the case that you can only fly (for a hobby, not a job) if you're the kind of person who says `To hell with the future!'. Maybe being the kind of person who likes to know the long-term costs necessarily makes me unsuitable for flying? Or is it that thinking that there might just be more important things than flying, denotes a fatal lack of enthusiasm?

Comments welcome.

Best wishes
Bear
