Robin,
I've been an attorney for over 20 years...so I 'm not that young. My husband and I moved to Florida a couple of years ago for his job and I'm just doing nonprofit work (meaning I'm working for free). You are right about exercise. I did get out of shape for a while and it did somewhat adversely affect my health, but am now in great shape with pilates and jogging. I got a clean bill of health from the doc yesterday. It would be harder for anyone out of shape to play the oboe because of the need for strong lungs and abs. I'm working on my endurance on the oboe too. I find that after playing for an hour that the air will start involuntarily escaping out my nose sometimes!! I played the oboe from the age of 10 until I was 20 continually and had lessons. I was picked for all-state band (not much competition for this in the 1980's Oklahoma though). I have a way to go on my oboe playing proficiency, but I, like you, really love the oboe and hope to improve and become a respectable amateur player.
Cheers,
KJC
