I have a wife, no kids-- well our two black labs are as close as you could
get to kids, yes I have a house-with mortgage, and all of the other
domestic stuff
(you know you are getting older when 'automatic' sprinkers are a cool
addition
to your house!), 2 jetskis (both for sale), my '69 Jeep CJ5, my truck, my
RC
planes (both in pieces!), wife's toyota Corolla (wanted the wagon, but they
were
discontinued), more PC gear than I want to mention, and 5 remote controls
sitting
on my coffee table. If I could, I'd get the electronic stove and matching
washer &
dryer too.

Very true about you're only as old as you feel. My inlaws always give me
grief for having so many 'toys'. I don't mind. I will always be a kid,
and probably will
still have my 'toys' until I'm ready for retirement. Went to a B-day part
for my nephew
2 weekends ago at an arcade/minature golf place. Played a new race car
game (didn't
catch the name)... $1.50 a game!! I haven't been in an arcade in 10 years.
Anyway,
I beat ever person that played against me. Guess I still have the 'Right
Stuff' still :P
