You know me too well, El S. Muchas gracias!
Which reminds me of a story...forgive me or don't:
It was spring on 1970. I was a long-haired, over-fed, leaping gnome. I was "going to college" which is short for chasing women, playing at social activism, growing my hair and getting baked. I was also dabbling in community theater since there were a plethora of girls hanging around the scene, women of all ages and most of the men were gay. Perfect!
Anyway, most of the "actors" were either students or profs at one of about five local colleges and universities. Putting on a show required 8 weeks of rehearsals and numerous parties. One of the people who I ran into was the wife of one of the lit profs. He was a notorious skirt chaser who believed that his wife should be able to get her kicks where she found them. She was a 35 yr old brunette who was a total doll in her twenties and who was starting to miss the attention of young men...enter moi.
Flash forward: Now it is 1978. I am a clean-cut surfer looking dewd just returned from six active in So Cal going to community college on the G.I. Bill. I'm 26 and I run into this little 18-19 yr old freshmen. I carry her books, she swallows my load, we're golden. I decide to take her to a cabinj I have access to on the coast. She wants to pick up some beach crap at her mom's place. Guess what?
Yep. I didn't see mom, (fortunately..."Hello Mrs. Robinson...") but doubt she would recognize me. I sure didn't recognize the little girl who had been underfoot eight years earlier.
Flash forward: New Year's Eve...about to be 2008. That 18 year old girl is now 48. If she had a daughter when she was 18, that little girl would be 30. I figure I got a shot.... And what if she had a daughter when she was 18...I would be 64...nah.
