He's been talking about it for the past two days, actually. I think you may have inspired him. :-D I included this post in my Week In Review links:

As the only of my peers (dads of 3 - 8 year olds, mostly) who gets out to ski on a regular basis (weekly -- roughly 40 - 50 days a year), I wholeheartedly agree. That and biking are my outside exercise natural beauty and awe time. Good community of close and not-so-close partners and friends. Keeps everyone honest and fit. Many people will explicitly or implicitly try to make me feel bad about it, but I know it's the right thing. Peace. .-= Greg Berry´s last blog ..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/NuanceIntelligence/~3/ztsI7tAf_SU/" rel="nofollow">New Colorado Sustainable Venture Fund Opens</a> =-. Thanks, Derek

I used to travel the country playing music as a professional musician until my son was born. I chose to stop because I wanted to be home more, see him grow, etc. But I "forgot" to pick up another hobby... Eventually a trip to the doctor, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and increased stress levels were kind of the wake up call I needed. Been going to the gym now and actually picking my guitar back up for a couple months and I've found that I really am a much better father when I do this. Nice post.
