I am feeling really old after a weekend at my ancestral home. As if the pot belly and grey hair were not enough already I got a reality check when I was there that came completely out of left field. The first girl that I ever saw naked (in person and got to touch) is now a grandmother – and she’s two years younger than me. Mathematically I’m old enough to have had grand kids by now too, but I haven’t so that means I’m not really old. But the idea of my first having a kid that has a kid is a bit crushing humbling.

The show Big Love wears me out. Every time I watch it, once a week, I walk away tired. How in the hell could any man ever think that being married to three women at the same time is a good idea? At least in the real world the justice system is smart enough to put idiots like that in jail. Maybe he can get the help he needs while he’s in jail.
