You mentioned tai chi, have you thought of martial arts? Often they have family discounts and it would be wonderful for your boys. I think it's particularly good for AS kids.

That's what a co-worker has advised me as well (her S18 has AS and he does karate.) S6 has already shown interest when he has seen me practice T'ai Chi Chuan and Qigong. He's so funny -- after about five minutes he flops on the floor and says, "Boy, I'm tired! This is harder than it looks."

We looked into Taikwando for S6, but I think karate might be more his style. Most of the dojos around here have some pretty steep fees, but I'm still looking.

Country Western dancing...hummmm.... what about hip hop? Might be a better way to get out aggressions and you don't have to listen to all those "broken heart" songs. Just a thought!

<chuckle> I used to hate Country music, thinking it was for "grownups". Have always loved both Rock and Classical (and Classic Rock ) Have always had an affinity for the Blues, Folk and "Americana". Loved Hank Williams Sr. (as well as a wide eclectic choice in musical genres) in college. Now I find I have a thing for Modern Country. Especially now -- it goes well with relationship problems and there's always some song playing that strikes a chord with my sitch. (I guess that could be seen as either good or bad.)

The dancing is supposed to be good exercise, but I am coming to the conclusion the other students are a bit more advanced than I, so I am easily left behind. Need to find some folks who are just starting out. If I don't have the rhthym for the Cotton Eye Joe, I don't think I'd have a prayer for Hip Hop.

Thanks for the suggestions, root. I appreciate any feedback.
