It's still the first thing that anyone thinks of when they're mentioned. <BR/><BR/>Funny, though, you don't seem to hear much about Harrison Ford and Calista Flockharts 22 year age difference or Billy Joel's and his wife's 32 year age difference.<BR/><BR/>And as for the book... you want me to <I>share</I> this valuable information?

This post is filled with so many feelings I lost count.<BR/><BR/>When you say "That movie would never sell with the genders reversed and I just wasn't in the right frame of mind for that" I would agree ... but then I'd say in REAL life this isn't always the case. Look at Demi Moore and her boyfriend (husband?) who is young enough to be her son. It happens.<BR/><BR/>Age is a state of mind, isn't it? Never lose the kid in you. I know you won't.<BR/><BR/>Oh ... and can I borrow that book (er ... the second one you bought). :)Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09763751210167358084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31959421.post-63716917299665144752007-03-14T23:03:00.000-05:002007-03-14T23:03:00.000-05:00Everyone knows that women who are past their 20's ...Everyone knows that women who are past their 20's and even 30's are the absolute cream of the crop.

(If anyone can get through this with a great sense of humor, it's you... you're a funny, <I>funny</I> woman!) If you want to bitch/moan/boo-hoo about it at all, my e-mail box is always open.
