Oh no, I'm very far from it. People like Christian Tissier are much better than me, and probably than I will ever be.
No, I don't think you've ever mentioned that before.Some of you may remember that I practice Aikido.
Congratulations!Steph said:( )So next year, I can start preparing the 1st Dan exam. But before that... I need to learn how to fold an hakama! Now that I'm 1st Kyu I have to wear it.
Maybe it's just that you're catching up with life instead of it creeping up on you.Age is creeping up on me. It looks like my daughter will be getting married next August, and my son will be proposing this weekend. I will be going from empty nest to having a new son-in-law, who actually loves board and miniature gaming, so he is greatly welcomed, and a new daughter-in-law.
I have also just been elected again, after an extended hiatus, to the local Public Library Board, so back to having fun budgeting and all of the other headaches that come with being a public official.
Oh, and I now have a license to produce material for the Mongoose Publishing version of the Traveller Science-Fiction role-playing game. That should be fun. Looking forward to using the Map Editor for generating ideas of how planets should look. I assume that I cannot use the maps generated directly.
What? I started a thread a few years ago about this in sports section of OT, and you don't remember that? Shame on you!No, I don't think you've ever mentioned that before.

But more seriously, just a few threads above there's a picture of my club's members.

The Argentine Republic's borders are the River Plate, the General Paz highway and the Riachuelo river. Beyond… sunt dracones.^It is claimed that the South begins on the other side of Avenida Rivadavia.
Well, you can always start from Antarctica…Kyriakos said:I first have to rise above the South. Even if it is just the South of the South.
Maybe it was a ploy to get herself allowed to dye her hair. Women are wily.Hmm, we did have kids pretty late, I was 39 when my second son was born, and 41 when my daughter was born. My first son was born when I was 33, but he died as an infant. As my hair turned gray early, I was mistaken as my kids grandfather a lot. My daughter kept trying to convince me to dye my hair.
It used to be usual to have children well into your 40s. The modern notion that it's weird to have children after the age of 35 is quite a recent thing, following the advent of the Pill and other advances in both family planning and natal care.
I learned this recently as we're having one later this year and, at 39, I'm feeling old to be doing so!
