Ruth Anthony-Gardner said… Welcome, Sean! Glad you could join us. :D
Please consider joining a group to meet people and talk about anything that's on your mind, Hang With Friends. You might also like Fishing and Other Outdoor Stuff, we don't have a skiing group.
I also recommend Eco-Logical and Climate Concerns, since the climate is changing so drastically. As a young man you'll have to deal with the environment mess my generation is creating, all of your life.
After you've searched for topics of interest in "Groups" above and in the "Forums", don't forget to look at recent activity which hides along the right margin of the page all the way at the bottom.
