Weekend wrapup

That's always the case.
I met this chick once, said she wanted to get freaky with me. Never suspected that meant she was inviting the bearded lady, dragon girl and the worlds largest Russian.

A goat would never do that to you.
I get it now.

I miss skiing.

Don't miss it. Go do it! Or, as Warren (miller, not from the forum) says, you'll be one year older when you do. :wink:

It has been a great long weekend! My wife could not ski this time, as she is still recovering from her broken ribs from the crash, but I was really impressed with how the kids were skiing, and especially how my youngest was attacking that tough terrain. Snowbasin is a beautiful place. Site of the 2002 Olympic downhill, which started at the top of the tram in that last set of pics. The thought of dropping into a tuck on a hard, frozen race course from there is absolutely nuts! Fortunately for us, we could enjoy the ride and the terrain. We hiked out to a ridge, and found some north facing pow that was not all skied out, and had some great fun!

But seriously, if you like skiing, get out there. It sure re-boots the inner hard drive and re-sets the inner RAM.
 
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.

All of this is irrelevant because she's just going to harvest your organs. Don't worry about it.
 
Fresno wrapup:

left Thursday morning at 5:30am. well, a little after that because i went to take the garbage out and left my keys in my bag in my apartment. so i had to ring the doorbell and wake up my neighbor to get back in. she was NOT happy, but i apologized profusely. got on the plane at 7 something and was in San Francisco by 11am. brother-in-law picked me up and we went for lunch. went to pick up his cousin for the drive down. he was drunk and high, and showed up to the door in a towel. ah, college. drove down and every 45 minutes the cousin would wake up and ask if we were there yet. fun times. rehearsal dinner that night at some crappy bar where there was supposedly drama but i wasn't paying attention.

played guitar most of friday. i was going to play before the wedding so i needed to practice. a cousin was nice enough to let me borrow his guitar, which was fretting out at the first fret. glad i got the time with it. but also, probably the best hour of the year was the time i spent in the sun, in the backyard, playing guitar. family pre-wedding get together friday night. long time family friends were also there. one of the fathers then started berating my wife about the work that she does. i stepped in and escalated the situation. didn't come to blows, but i was furious. it was over in minutes and we both apologized.

wedding on saturday. my sister-in-law married a nice guy. kinda redneck-y, but that's Fresno. he's got joint custody of his 4 year old boy who is going to charm the panties off the girls in kindergarten next year. solo acoustic performance before the reception and everybody wanted to talk to me. including the asshole father. who again apologized. walked my mother-in-law down the aisle and then the drinking began. by the end of the night, the asshole father's three (grown) boys all told me what an asshole he was and how much he and they now respected me for the confrontation. he for standing up for my wife and them because nobody ever stands up to him. what a weird was to gain respect.

everybody was hung over on Sunday for the brunch reception for the 200 people who weren't invited to the wedding. hung out for most of the rest of the day.

went to the zoo on Monday with my father in law and my new nephew. then had Passover seder and heard the details of who hooked up with who at the wedding.

traveled all day yesterday. left for the airport at 4am and was in NY at 6pm. Fresno to LA to Chicago to LaGuardia. i normally don't make that many connections but the difference in price was like $500. i think i passed out by 8:30pm or so. woke up at 10am today, went to the dentist for a cleaning, and have mostly taken it easy this afternoon. i have to do a work spreadsheet this afternoon, but that's it. kinda not looking forward to work tomorrow, but at least it's only two days this week and one of them is Good Friday.

But seriously, if you like skiing, get out there. It sure re-boots the inner hard drive and re-sets the inner RAM.

I just don't have the money or the time anymore. Once the kid is a little older and can go with, and/or my wife can find somebody who can do what she does at the ranch, it might happen again.
