43. That sounds pretty diverse all on its own

I once briefly had a Bulgarian girlfriend in my freshman year of college. A fairly recent immigrant, she had breezed through undergrad at Penn in 3 years and was heading for medical school at Yale.* Talk about strong women. I find them pretty special anyway. My wife was offered a modeling job around the time I met her (barely age 22). She told them to shove it, said she wasn't taking courses in social work to have a bunch of guys take pictures of her in her underwear (their loss, but not my problem). Our daughters are the same way, I think I have told you about them before.

*This was 1971, so "socialism" was a very dirty word to her, as her family had risked their lives fleeing it 5 years before.
