Same here, Pete. I got totally involved in flying a few years ago and
ended up getting my private pilot`s license and multiengine IFR but
then, the interest shifted.  With the violin, however, I can just pick
it up anytime and fiddle with it.  It is always ready on top of our
piano and my bow on top of my TV!  I will go back to flying this
spring to renew my IFR rating.

PS, OT: If you ever get a chance to fly, try a few hours with an
instructor in aerobatics.  It is something that will keep a smile on
your face for a long long time.  There is a place just south of Ottawa
where you pay a class 1 aerobatics instructor and just sit back and
enjoy while he does all the hard work.  Or, if you fly, he will keep
you out of trouble.
