Knot, Just to let you and the list know, I'm not in any way pressuring her into riding with me. It was her idea from the get-go, and AFTER discussing it with her parents (darnit, I'm such a little kid on this list!), she thought it would be OK to try in a controlled environment. Like I said, I've been turning her down for the last 4 months, and said that I wouldn't do it until I felt ready. She isn't the type of lady to be pressured into anything, and is not afraid to put her foot down. There's something about a girl with a mind of her own that catches my attention. Hopefully, Knot, your daughter will do the same and then you won't have to be the "ol' stick in the mud"! Tim ps- If you take Knot's PS from above out of context, you've got words to live by! Combine that with the Reverend's and Arne's comments, and there's a serious trend forming here.... Riding 2-up = some sort of sexual substitute?>Patient.....)
