then there's another alternative in the same vein ... next time Shoulder's (a 
favorite austin band ... very modern-celtic'ish, great lyrics, excellent 
drinking tunes .... ) is playing, put on your 17" engineer boots (heavy steel 
toed monsters ...), round up your lady(s), fire up the bike, load up on 
guiness and fine scotches / irish whiskey's, and go out and war-dance for 2-
3 hours to excellent tunes ... that's where this one ended up last thursday 
night ... found mind wandering back almost two decades when we would 
wear our mail out on our dancing dancing expeditions (great for endurance 
and cardio conditioning ...) .. reminded self that it's time to let out chest 
and back that fall (down side of ageing well, putting on mass in all the right 
places .... goddess be praised for good genetics and a healthy lifestyle).
