when we lived in Texas, dad took us on a 5 day white water raft trip down the Colorado. He fell out and was washed downstream a bit before we caught up to him in the raft. After we got ashore mom said "you always said you hoped you would go out doing something you loved " and he said "true, but not yet ! "
felt bad for the young man and his family.
I agree with Hilljackhunter, going out while elk hunting would work for me, just not yet!
