Weekend wrapup

You guys have obviously never had a mother-in-law that is 3 years younger than you. :embarrassed:

That is something else again. I have never dated women who were from another generation. What the hell would we talk about?

I haven't given it too much thought, but I'd say 12-15 years would be the greatest gap I'd consider in either direction. Then too, who knows what would happen if love came into the equation?
 
Watched a lot of Basketball...


... and my band had a gig at a place called the Full Bull Tavern. Gig went really well.

From a biological standpoint, it's kind of a big deal, I guess. Purely from a relationship perspective, not so much. If I were 30 and she was 36, or if I were 29 and she were 35, it'd be less of a big deal. But I'm almost 34, and she's turning 40 literally in a few weeks.

For instance, I usually date 26-29 year olds or that range. Let's suppose I were to marry a 26 year old today, and we had a kid in the next year. We could theoretically keep having kids for another 14 or 15 years if we wanted another one. Or we could easily wait 10 years to have a kid.

So, let's suppose I married this 39 year old chick today. She wants to have kids eventually (I know this, she's told me.) It'd pretty much be a do or die situation to have them right now. Obviously, lots of women have kids at 40, but fertility starts dropping off very fast. So I think about that kind of shit.
 
The biological thing is something else. Luckily, that was out of the equation for me when I met Carol, plus she didn't want another one, either.

My wife was thrilled with the situation, left me tell you.

Its not just a fertility factor. It's a drastic increase in the chance for complications during pregnancy as well as things like down syndrome and birth defects. It gets down right dangerous and borderline irresponsible to be pregnant after forty.

Yeah, I know. It's still pretty good at 40...statistically 99 percent healthy...but it goes way down every year after.
 
Still on the weekend.

That last one is me.

Everyone should get to do this. There would be a lot less arguing on Internet forums.

^^^ Yeah, well based on my limited hill experience, and horrifying flashbacks, I would most definitely be coming down in a giant snowball :(.
 
Damn I need to go skiing. Went every year for 12 years straight and then haven't been in a decade.

The last time I skied, it was on my honeymoon with the first wife. Damn, that was 20 years ago. I blame her! :grin:

Beautiful pic's, Steve. :thu:
 
There's nothing like being on the edge of control flying down a beautiful landscape. Those pics make me jealous. And sad.

Oh yeah, the weekend...
Mrs. T had Friday and today off so spent extra time with her, beat Diablo III, pulled weeds in the garden, bought a tangerine tree, played lots of guitar, had the oldest granddaughter over, took the family to Froberg's Farm, drank a little bourbon each night, and had one of the twin grandsons over today.
 
Skiing...not exactly my bag and those pictures alone make me a bit woozy. I can handle the beginner and the intermediates, but after that it all goes wrong.
