Maybeeee..instead of trying to explain, you should have just grinned and
said, "It's hard to explain...maybe you should come with sometime and
see for yourself". As you said, words don't do justice.

But what if this gene lies dormant awaiting something to awaken it?
You might have missed out on something good. Alot of people don't
get around to hiking until they're adults and suddenly whammmo....
they're hooked.
And am I the only one who see's the advantages of finding someone
that enjoys it enough to go for dayhikes and the occasional trip,
but is more than willing to stay home and keep the homefires going
while I go out and play.
Besides, if he's a_good_stockbroker, he should have cash, and would
probably have purchased some really nifty toys that you could play
with<<<<G>>>>. And when the market crash hits, he'd probably be more
than willing to sell them to you at a good price. <<G>>
