Hmm.. I'm really awful at all sports but I always managed a B- minimum... why,
you ask? Cause I had asthma... So if I did *anything* at all, my teachers
would classify it as 'tried hard, nice efforts'... <grin> ... and here in the
US, my PE classes are on a A, Pass, Fail scale. You get an A if you come to
every class with outfit, participate, etc... (yuck :-)

Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm having so much fun in my current Lifetime
class. We did badminton, it was excellent! (Badminton, as are Baseball and
American football, is literally nonexistent in Israel.)

Football, IMHO, is the dumbest sports game alive. I see no point in it except
for machoistic (sp?!) egotistic guys who want the cheerleaders ranking for
them.
(Don't let me start about cheerleaders, unless you're willing to tell me about
golf :)

Yeah... I really need a castle ballroom... And if they wanna dance in the
tavern, they can move all the tables... :-)
