Well, I might have you all beat, except for keith.  I married an "Older
Woman", she's two years older than I.  I'm 66.  She (we) have 4 kids;
50, 47, 46, 42, I have a 41 year old.  Last month in CompUSA in
Sacramento I bought a copy of Mandrake 8.2.  Made some comment about
having a 50 year old child.  She said, "YOU COULDN'T HAVE A CHILD THAT
OLD!!".  Could never convince her, honest.  Been awhile since I've been
casrded for beer, though.
