I don't do that either.

No way...he's as active as he ever was.

Well, it can't be very big...they also serve a sausage link with it, which
I can do without. Years ago, when I still lived up north, there was a
German/American club that served all you can eat potato pancakes on
Thursdays. I made it a point to be there for my share. They were the size
of a burrito sized tortilla (10") and they served apple sauce on the side.
Yummmy! My mouth waters just thinking about them.

My youngest daughter was born there, so she had no inkling what was going
on. My wife's son was about 4yo, so he wasn't aware of much either. The
wife was all for it, as she missed her dad and her sister. To make up for
it, I bought her a custom 49 Mercury for her to drive in San Diego. She
was surprised and pleased when she and the kids arrived.

Those are better than the Explorer...

Go to a used car lot and find out which one fits you best. Buy the one
you'll be the most comforable in. The thing I'd like about the Tahoe, as I
do about my Silverado, is the ability to look over the top of the traffic
in front and back of me.
