Swimming in the ocean? That'll make you appreciate the power of nature.

Good morning all, now then, dangerous activities like jumping out of planes fill me with horror, I can't stand heights. I get scared on a thick carpet!! Hours on a computer. Hmm, well, I suppose this machine of mine is in the ballpark sorta, so a few hours a day I guess. We have our evening meal quite early, about 4pm. That's all folks, have a nice day everyone.

I'm descended from John Endicott, the first Royal Governor of Salem, Massachusetts. I also share a (relatively unusual) name with a famous Irish revolutionary (from the Easter Uprising in 1916), so we may be somehow related -- but we haven't found a direct link as of yet.
