Sausage Please!

As I grow in age, I value women who are over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:

A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night to ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do. And, it's usually something more interesting.

A woman over 40 knows herself well enough to be assured in who she is, what she is, what she wants and from whom. Few women past the age of 40 give a damn what you might think about her or what she's doing.

Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you, if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

A woman over 40 has the self-assurance to introduce you to her women friends. A younger woman with a man will often ignore even her best friend because she doesn't trust the guy with other women.

Women over 40 couldn't care less if you're attracted to her friends because she knows her friends won't betray her.

Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40. They always know.

A woman over 40 looks good wearing bright red lipstick. This is not true of younger women or drag queens.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart. A woman over forty will tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one! You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed hot woman of 40+, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow
pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year-old waitress.

Ladies, I apologize And finally...

For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free." Here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage, why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire Pig, just to get a little sausage....

Memorable Memorial

Presenting Killian...

Kelly made one cute baby! It's been fascinating to see him and I even got to hold him for a while. It's all very touching and cool and I feel so excited to be able to watch him grow up! I took Mila for a few days for Kelly since she had a ton of stuff going on.

It is the end of memorial day weekend and we were blessed with fabulous weather. I started it out with a poker tournament on Friday, then on Saturday I took the girls out to Pohick where we met up with Jenna, Travis, Sadie, Bonnie and Oscar for a camp side dinner. Bonnie made a fabulous fondue and we had hot dogs and smores. On Sunday, I took the girls out for a hike in Fort Belvoir, then went to Kelly's to drop off Mila. We had a mid-day nap followed by another evening hike and wine on the deck. On Monday, my new friend Dave picked me up on his motorcycle and we went into DC to watch the memorial day parade. After we stopped in old town for irish beer and burgers, then he and I picked up Bailey and took her out for another walk.

Now it's closing in on the end of the holiday and I really had a good time this weekend and wish it would continue.

I worked all month, so I should be good for money for a while. Hopefully, more work will be in the pipeline, but frankly, if I have a week break, that would be fine with me.

I got myself the WiiFit and I've been using it every day, plus walking Bailey. Bonnie and I are working out together a couple of times a week. I'm still smoking and my weight hasn't gone down yet, but hope springs eternal.

Life is good... well except for the lack of sex. But really, I don't miss it all that much.
