It's not just 'older' people that can be restricted
by other people's expectations.

Bungee Jumping would not be my first choce of a
pastime - the thought of jumping from a great height with my
ankles attached to reinforced knicker elastic just doesn't
appeal to me somehow. I do know someone who did a bungee
jump once, and he survived, even enjoyed it, thought he
confessed that he never did get the yellow and brown stains
out of his underpants.

I saw an item on the news a while ago about a lady
who had always wanted to do a parachute jump, so for her one
hundredth birthday (that's right) that is exactly what she
did.

Keep it up. You are an inspiration.
By the way I believe you are getting a Lyra harp from Dave
Woodworth of Heartland Strings. I have ordered one of those
myself - mine should be ready by the first half of March -
and I'd be interested in hearing your opinions.
