Funny, I never thought of women as 'breeders,' and fail to find the thought even partially amusing. I have thought long and hard about an old fashioned family life, not like mom and dad, (dad was NOT a good role model) but more like my grandmother and grandfather. He was the boss, except in the kitchen, and that was what worked for them. I already volunteer my time at a local group home teaching roping and western riding, as well as how to maintain tack. It was that volunteer work that actually got me to thinking about being a dad again. Granted, I may end up with the same problem I have with my son who THINKS he knows it all, but that is okay. DA, as far as acting like a 47 year old juvenile delinquent, would getting up at 5 am and playing reveille load enough to wake the folks in the cemetery qualify? I mean granted, this is usually in response to the neighbors keeping the dogs stirred up all night with driving in and out, not to mention the occasional blast from a civil war replica 3 band enfield with 50grains of black powder fire off in the morning just after the bugle call and my raising the flag.... (I have yet to raise the money to purchase a full sized working napoleon field piece from dixie gun works. I have, however, designed the perfect bovine produced fertilizer delivery round.....) As for the vanilla life outside of the house, no problem, since it never was an issue in the past. I would really like to find a young woman who wants a family, that I can teach some stuff that I learned when I was a kid, so that the skills arent lost. Too many people want to fast break a horse, or use prefab horse shoes, or buy a factory made saddle. Trying to teach that at the group home is a bit difficult since the kids are constantly going or coming in. I just figure that by having the chance to pass on those skills, to someone that wants to learn, would be much better than letting them die, and unfortunately, a lot of those skills are dieing. But then, maybe I am a dreamer......
