YA! More geriatrics! I am 36 myself (37 next month), and I usually have to
break out the icepacks if I have been doing a marathon session on the
weekends. Let the youngins swap instruments/weapons every beat, I'd rather
be having a beer and flirting with the cute wood elf (once I have made sure
she is really a she, lol) :)
