No recap. Older than dirt (52), married forever, two wonderful kids S10 and D7, and still in love with Ex.
Can't help it.
I feel great and I can just spit in the devil's eye.
How do I feel?
Let me quote Pierce Bronsnan. Remember, he was James Bond before this new guy:
On turning 55, too old to play Bond:
"That was a shock yes. I never thought of myself as being too old. It was startling to hear such things about oneself, especially when you thought you were going down that particular avenue, and then the door gets slammed in you face".
Sounds like our "bomb", does it not?
So what did he do??
Shaken and stirred but not bitter, Bronson thinks it was a blessing:
"It turned out very lucky. Within the space of the punch and the pain of being passed over or rejected or the bottom of your world falling out, within the same breath came this liberation of 'I am free. I can do anything I want'. It is up to me to have the guts to make the next stage of my life as interesting and as exciting and unexpected as possible."
"You struggle with money. You struggle with love. You struggle without love. But it's how you mannage. You have to keep laughing, you have to be fun to be with, and you have to live with style - not fancy-schmancy, but in a way which is present and meaningful and has some beauty to it."
"You got to be a fighting rooster. You've got to get out there and preen those feathers and look like you know what you're doing and hope you know what you are doing and have a good time."
