I think the kids look just like mom!
I happen to know there are other peddlers in the pixie family. I was a founding member of the Keel-Haulers Canoe Club out of Elyria Ohio.

Being an old bull, I’ve walked over a number of hills and have had a few hobbies that I just dabble with now.

I did a lot of wilderness camping at one time. Now primitive camping is the “assigned plot” without the electric hook-up and shower.

Think I was one of the last certified “two-hose” SCUBA divers. The Great Lakes aren’t the most interesting place for diving unless you’re doing research. Wreck diving is too expensive and ice diving was too dangerous for somebody with a young family at the time. But I enjoyed the hell out of it.

I can use an 8” telescope with an equatorial mount that isn’t motor driven or computer controlled. Hubble gets me better pictures than I ever took and are so available now with our internet. Getting harder to find sky that’s not ambient light washed but I still drag it out once in a while.

I use to expose a LOT of film and even got luck a few times taking some prizes in photo competitions. Lost interest after loosing a camera bag with two Nikon bodies and half dozen Nikore lenses. When the bitter taste started to fade, digital was getting to be real and have enjoyed this because of the dark room capabilities without the space and high costs.

I took my son to play paintball for his birthday once and ended up owning one of the better fields for 6 years. Had 4-1/2 acres of old factory property where we had “Urban Paintball” games that drew players from 5 states on a regular basis. Once it becomes a business you don’t get to play. You can see I have to be careful what I get interested in.

I guess the age is starting to show as now my main hobbies are fly fishing and shooting some 9-ball when I have a chance.
And of course Pixies.

That’s all for now. It’s so hard to be serous.
