G'day Jim,
The good thing is, the girl's kind of keep us "young in the mind" fellas out 
of harms way. ;-)

However, on occasion they give us no end of mental stress while reminding us 
of our, in some cases, "frailer nature" as we've matured.... not older, nor 
wiser, but out of harm.

Like a fine aged wine, we're not bad at all, as long as we try not the 
actions of our youth beyond reason and common sense. In my case both of 
these items don't always register. ;-) Oh well what the hell I can't get 
into too much trouble with my girl near by. :-)

The young lads on list are thinking, "Oh jeesh here go the old guys again!" 
;-)

Yeah but we know what they've yet to go through! ;-)
