I would agree with the brazilian jui-jitsu. By merely sparing with a white belt, with no other training I was able to take on wresling champs with years of experience and win. but now I am wus cus I climb more than I spar.

I agree--I sit down to play the piano, and entire hours disappear in a second!

I would pick a more portable instrument, though. I can't tell you how many times I've been chilling around a fire with climbing friends, wishing I could entertain them with a beatle's song. If I could do it over, I'd invest (both time and money) in a guitar and become a guitar-slinging hippie.

OR

You could write the next great american novel. If a book about whaling earned this title, surely a book about climbing can!

man, I didn't realize we had so many martial arts experts on here. I'd better watch my mouth.

keith urban is the only one who threatened to hurt me if I didn't give him more new lines.

Jeez, pig, did you even read the text in that link?
slides...enclosed loop slide...pirate ship (complete with submersed alligators and shooting water cannons)...octopus slide...very large water play area and a huge, triple-looped slide.
All right in your back yard, and you're missing out!

Pigsteak - you need to own and manage a climbing gym. That will keep you from getting bored.
