    You're getting close to that age. As Napoleon Dynamite would say, "Lucky!"

    As for me, when my youngest gradates high school, I will be 55.

        Yes, and no. I really have fun with her, and it will be hard to see her head off without me....

        But, looking forward to becoming an old couple together. We need to start thinking of some hobbies... we both like yardwork, reading, travel, photography.

        we're likely to get pretty boring.

            We're looking forward to it as well, mostly because our interests haven't diverged that much in 11 years. We both like sports and outdoorsy stuff.

                We would like to just sleep. No, that's not a euphemism.

                        Speaking of 42, I didn't have any grandchildren when I was 42, but now there are a full dozen of them. Age 42 is ancient history for some of us.

                            Me too. I should have all kids out of the house and in college by the time I turn 50. Starting a family while you are young is not as bad as some people make it out to be as long as it's done right.

                            I hope my time after the kids move out is full of a lot of golf and travel.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

                                        TRAVEL

                                        Yes, traveling is very generic, but the right kind of travel for your wife is the ticket. Of course, if she hates to go anywhere, then this is no help. Some people like adventure and are willing to engage in new, exciting and unexpected things. If this is not your wife, then go to a tropical resort. Start out with that.

                                        Everyone loves to travel on some level. At best, you end up in Phuket, Thailand (please, please), and at worst, you end up at a resort in Park City (or some similarly situated resort town in off-season). Either way, your wife is getting away, and she WILL appreciate that, FWIW.
