if you're planning to have kids, I'd really recommend doing that before forty, so you have a fighting chance of seeing grandkids grow up.
If my hypothetical children take as long to get about it as I have, I might as well forget about seeing grandchildren at all... It was never my plan to still be unmarried at anything like my age, but the best laid plans of mice and men gang aft agley...
Ever wanted to climb a mountain, run a marathon or play a social team sport?
Not in the slightest in the second two cases; the first I've already done, but am now rather frightened of doing again. There's a path in Ein Avdat in Israel up the side of a cliff; mostly the path's three feet wide, but at one place it narrows to less than a foot, with a sheer cliff on one side and a drop on the other. It took some nerve getting past that when I was nineteen, but I talked myself into it by saying it must be safe; everyone else gets past that without problems.
That attitude abruptly deserted me when I heard, a few years later, that someone had fallen at Ein Avdat and died.
