Guest guest Posted February 8, 2000 Report Share Posted February 8, 2000 I agree walking in the sand can be a gentle exercise, but forget trying to walk in the surf coming up on shore. That has become close to impossible for me! Sand that I displace with my foot is one thing; sand that gets moved by the tide without warning is entirely another!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2000 Report Share Posted February 10, 2000 ! That is fantastic! Half the time I read your messages I'm roaring (the other half I'm at least smiling!)! There is nothing like a sense of humor. It fires the immune system up, working the muscles and the heart, and gets those endorphins moving! Thanks for the smiles!
