Yeah, she's staying to remind me I'm not getting any!
But you're right, we should look at the good side of things. As for being 53 and where you are, look at it this way -- how many people over 50 can look forward to experiencing really good sex for the first time? Many people seem to think their most intense sexual experiences happened when they started their first serious relationship in their 20's. Many others simply say sex gets gradually better with age. But few people over 50 can look forward to a big jump in the quality of their sexual relationship to something unlike they've ever had before. So just pretend you're a teenager who's about to get it right and have the time of your life. That is, in fact, pretty much the way I feel in spite of my circumstances. It helps to be ridiculously optimistic -- other people catch on to that and admire it.
