Hey David,
Your tag line says it, I think...."No good deed goes unpunished" Maybe Mick is thinking of an appropriate punishment for your good deed of "introduction"!
I'm thinking he might be on to something...maybe I should try some night creams! I ain't gettin' any younger! And I was going to break down and decide on a fragrance to try since I generally avoid perfumes. So his advice is timely!
And it is true...it is better to have loved than to have not. Each one teaches you something more...it does sound like y'all have met your matches though! Karen lets him chase wallabies on the beach...that's very cool of her
