Hi Guys,

I have lost so far about 70 pounds and I have much more to go but 2 of my crazy ideas are #1) to be able to learn how to roller blade and the other #2) to parachute out of a plane. What do you guys think? Some times I tell people, they tell me I am nuts. I don't think it's a mid-age crisis because I have always wanted to do it. Tell me what do you think?

PS I had a little problem with my left knee when I fell down some stairs once. I am a little scared of doing any further damage to it.

Rollerblading sounds like fun, but as for me, I've got a lousy sense of balance.

I don't think your ideas are crazy at all, although I am of the "Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good airplane?" school of thought. (I also frequently ask GBMD why anyone would sink a perfectly good boat, but that's a different subject.)

If you want to do it, why not? I understand the fear of injuring your knee further, though. (Speaking as someone with bad knees herself.) Perhaps talk it over with a doctor specializing in sports medicine?

Me...I want to learn how to dance. I keep learning, and then forgetting. I can remember how to cumbia, but that's about it. One of these days, though, I'll learn and remember!
