He was 4 in 78, so 4-6 years older than your girls...

Exactly.  :)

He'll be happy with a Carribbean boat, probably almost as much as if
he'd timed it better for the Med.  :)  And he's pretty good at
scrambling to get some sort of job when needed to keep himself in food
and shelter... done that since he went away to college...  :)  I don't
worry about him.  :)

 RH>> But, it all worked out in the long run. (G)
 NB>> Yup.  He gave me the space I needed, and the support, and we're still
 NB>> quite happily together now.... :)  or at least, contentedly... ;)

 RH> How many years now? We'll reach 40 next year.
 
It'll be 42 coming up...  :)

 RH>>> Yes, and we didn't need the calories or carbs.
 NB>>> And they weren't sitting on your counter begging to be eaten... ;)
 RH>> Correct! We didn't want to throw them out so we ate them, even as
 RH>> they got staler by the day.
 NB>> And, having essentially overeaten, there was little to no temptation
 NB>> left for the ones at choir, besides...  ;)

 RH> Not really overeaten, just had more than we usually do, in a tighter
 RH> time frame. We'd had lunch not that long before choir practice so we
 RH> weren't hungry enough for a doughnut.

Ok.

... I am positive that a definite maybe is probably in order.
