    Just joking, those activities actually seem very well rounded, and generally part of a classic education. However, if you look at it, there is no big adrenaline kicks in any of them... So IF you are actually tired of it, why don't you do something with an element of danger in it (horse riding seems like the most "dangerous" thing on that list).

    Throwing yourself out of a plane,as an example, is bound to take some time before it gets boring.

    Various things have stopped or deterred me from all three.

    The fencing - bad ankle, I can't bounce on it and damage to my back hip has taken a lot of the explosive power out of my lunge, my bladework on foil is limited by the difficulties with footwork

    Horseriding - I'm allergic to the mites in the hay and also to a lesser extent in the horses coats - so anti-hystermines are essential now, which puts a damper on just enjoying it.

    Shooting - bad eyes, need new glasses.

    That last one I can actually fix, and I'm working on general fitness to try to improve the hip and ankle so I can maybe fence recreationally.

    Oh, yeah, I'm also a strong swimmer (looking for a pool in Exeter right now to get back into that) and I can handle a boat.

    Actually, thinking about it, I'm passably good (or at least unembarrassing) at quite a few things.

    Skiing has actually always appealed, but that's courting death a bit too much - between the dodgy depth perception, the lopsidedness, and the bad ankle I'm pretty sure I'd fall off the mountain rather than whiz down it.

    You know what gets to me though - climbing is a real in thing right now, especially among young women, and it has always engendered crippling terror in me.

    That really gets to me, it really does.

    PVC you sound like you are 75, I thought I was bad!

    Having said that I'm still having to kneel as I type this (gah!).

    But yeah, I think you guys might be onto something, can't say anything else gives my life meaning besides God.

    Only hobby I've got is lifting, which I can't do right now. Although at least there is some adrenaline-inducing danger in my life, that comes from walking up my street.
    At the end of the day politics is just trash compared to the Gospel.

    So give it a shot!

    Climbing is great, specially since you REALLY can climb things on your own level these days. Back when I started there were no cool indoor training halls and stuff... Just a mountain and if my dad had his back turned a good rope.

    I gave it a shot several times as a teenager, when I say "crippling fear" I bloody well mean it.

    I once had to be almost pried off the training wall.

    Can't afford those fancy new training halls anyway.
