As a 20 year old I've been faced with a very hard decision. My first
[chasing tail or fish }

Indian Joe relates--think I remember chasing "tail" during school days with
some success, but finally got caught by one .
Then did family thing [ work and kids} for many years while enjoying racing
small sailboats.Then got into fly fishing when I was almost to old to enjoy
it. Crawling from rock to rock rather than jumping and tiring out after a
half day outing certainly limits the enjoyment involved.
My advise is to enjoy all things while you are young--there may be some
truth to that old saying "you are only as old as you feel " but when you
wake up more days feeling 96 rather than 26 your ability and desire to
chase tail or trout is not a decision you ponder.
By the way - how are you doing accademmly ?
