MP- I could NEVER stay off my bike for six months- I would cheat. (Although I _did_ stop diving.) I guess if you're gonna die...
My funnest (whatever!! I can use made up words if I want to!) trip ever, with my mom and sisters, was to Reno. Then we drove over the mountains to Sacramento. (The non-squanderer lived there at the time). Reno is where I learned about the slot machines that I had been turning my nose up at for my entire life. What a fool!! We drove around Lake Tahoe one day. It looked cold. But Reno was pretty- much better than scum-town Las Vegas where Running Mommy is now incarcerated.
