I think it is like annoying women saying nice or stable and fun or sexy cannot be combined.

Our wings are not tired.

Fabulous pictures, Gud. Are the gardens someplace close enough for you to go often? I don't know if you could get close, but these smell awesome. [link] They are some of my favorites in Florida.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yes, this.

I've spent my late thirties being in better shape than about most of my life, but I think I was both nicer and brighter when I was younger.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Thees ees why I suggested the nabe - I have zee, how do you say, "connections".

Exxxxxcellent!

We're planning on dropping the rental car off on our way back from Mendo, b/c we figured that public transportation would be WAY easier in SF -- are you conveniently MUNI-adjacent?

More or less - why don't you e me with the details, and I can provide a breakdown of where you'll need to go?

Cool. I'll probably e-mail you over the weekend, b/c my brain is mooshy right now.

I was in better shape, cared more how I looked, easier, and more willing to act like I was interested in people when I was in my 20s. I know who I am now.

Gud. Are the gardens someplace close enough for you to go often?

They are on the other side of the state which places them at the very limit for a day trip, so not quite in the often range but certainly in the range for revisits. I don't remember the smell of those flowers but I was able to get right up to them, not much there is very restricted.

Well, that keeps it extra special. Really lovely place.

Yeah, as someone about to turn 30, I'm a little puzzled by the "30 something women can't be hot like a 23 year old"

Maybe I'm paraphrasing too much, but I think what he was expressing was a personal choice between being like a younger (in a broader sense), less responsible guy or a more mature older guy. He defines this as a choice between a younger, less serious partner or an older, more serious partner. Not so much that a younger woman can't be smart and mature, but that's not what he wants in a younger woman.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I have a lot more sex drive at 44 than I had at 20-something. And except for being heavier I'm not much different. Well, I'm more of a bitch, if I can define "bitch" as "not putting up with any shit anymore".

I think it's that last one that really puts off the guys who are looking for a 20-something. They want someone pliable who will put up with their shit.

It is pretty impressive, we weren't able to really see everything.
