Hi Sage - Well, to some degree I could. The problem is he is on one end of the athletic spectrum and I am on the other. I guess you could say I am average in the fitness category and he is very competitive. I do think this is an area which we could do some bonding since athletics is very important to him. I go to the gym alone, do my classes and dvds at home while he engages in more competitive sports. I did mention getting my bike tuned up so I could go next time. At first he said he could take it in for me but then later he said maybe male friend would like to do it with him (more his speed). One of his bomb things was that we have nothing in common...Thanks for looking at my sitch
According to the Buddha, praise and blame, gain and loss, pleasure and sorrow may "come and go like the wind," but happiness comes if you can "rest like a great tree in the midst of them all."
