I'm looking forward to it, but first it's good form to buy and wear a beret.

and then there are those of us who refuse to grow up

Loved the post... t'is a blessed advantage to be able to speak one's mind.

"I neither want nor need your approval." quiet maturity flow from that.

Deprived

Another nice thing

For me, one of the nicest things about getting older has been the expanding universe of women I would consider doing!  I mean think about how narrow your selection range was when you were 16, then look at how much broader it was when you were 35.  I absolutely cannot believe the enormous age range that is attractive to me now. (Yes, I avoid thinking about illegally youthful!)  The down side of this is a lot of 'em respond to me with "Yes sir" or "No sir" when I say something to them. And the real bummer today was realizing the 50 something I was about to hit on at dinner is probably too young to realize I'm not joking.
