How to Tell When You Have Reached a Mature Age

Sore joints? Failing memory? Sensitive tummy? Graying hair? Everyone else seems so young?

Nope. Whether you are straight woman or a gay man, at least that's not what I discovered this evening while watching the DVD "Sharpe's Mission".

In an opening scene I looked at Sharpe, played by much yummy Sean Bean. One sexy man, and that's a fact.

Then I looked at Major General Ross played by James Laurenson. Older, craggy as all get out, but I thought he was sexy too. Not quite as much as Bean, but...

But, I thought to myself, can I see myself with Sharpe? Regretfully,. no. But I most certainly can see myself with Ross. Indeedy I do. Most assuredly.   Mmmmm.

That's when I realized, I had reached a solidly mature age.

I know, I kn ow, speak for yourself, Kit.

Sorry, I'm already spoken for. It's your bedtime, young man. Leave Uncle Kit and Mr. Laurenson alone for the evening.
