No.  I am definitely not a water-baby.  I am a child of 
fire.  Although I was an excellent firstmate, sailing for many years 
on Long Island Sound.  Never a captain, only a sun worshiper.  I 
bought a rowboat, but it was stolen three days after I put it into 
the water.   I love the lake, and the birds that visit once the 
summer crowd has gone.

The only big mountain I've ever been on (that I remember) was Mount 
Teide on Tenerife.  It was an unusually clear, sunny day.  Picnic and 
reading Lorca (translation), not gazing at the stars.  The landscape 
was very lunar.  I think it is a volcano.  The Adirondacks are a 
chain of mountains, but it is hard for me to remember those little 
crayon maps I made in elementary school.  Tell me about the Adirondacks.
