I fully understand. Someone needs to run the household and take care of the kids.

God bless your wives for being so understanding and supportive and letting you go attend this event.

My wife and I started early.
We had our son when we were only 23, we only have one, he is now 29, owns his own home and has a good job here at Boeing too.
So its only me and the wife now and we are very blessed and feel vey fortunate to be able to just get up and go on vacation whenever we can afford it.

Thank God for Bill Pay - automatic bill payments.
Thank God for Lawn Maintenance Crew - they come mow my lawn twice a week.
Thank God for Lawn Care - They come once a month and treat my lawn with fertilizer and weed killer.
Thank God for Home Alarm System.
Thank God for my son and my brothers coming over my home once in a while to check and see if things are OK.
Thank God for good neighbors (some are retired) that watches my home daily (and I do the same for them.)

I am blessed and thank God everyday. Very grateful for what I have.

Kindest Regards,

And you can be thankful for having your fine beast (and a wife that understands your need for your "girlfriend").

Absolutely right! I almost forgot. Thanks Mark!

And thank you also to my fine beast and a very understanding wife - both always makes me happy.

Life is good.

So you must be a Greek god (to be married to her).

Master Carson,

Lisa and Afroditi are NOT the same person. But of course you know that.

What I could have never imagined in my life ( at least twenty years ago ), is the fact that my wife costs me a lot more than a hooker.

Oh well...

LMAO!

I remember Gene Simmons said once, something like "When you find someone you like and think of marrying them - buy her a house instead. It's a lot cheaper!".

It's like when someone asks you the question "Have you ever paid a women for sex?"
And you answer, "I'm married, I'm still paying and there is no sex anymore".

What is the difference between a job you've had 20 years and a wife you've had 20 years?
Well, after 20 years the job sucks!

Disclaimer - I've been married less than 20 years.

Remember when we used to talk about cars and a trip to Spain in this thread. Ahhhh, the good old days...

I have heard back from BMW M and they are going to assign all of the open slots (46 of the 50) for Nov 3/4 to us for the time being. So we have a few more open. Hasan is trying to round up some interest in his part of the world (UAE), but we should still have a few slots left. So anyone who is interested, now is the time to step up and be counted.

Again, actual invitations are scheduled to go out sometime in July. You are not committed until you respond and pay BMW (but don't expect a refund if you change your mind after paying).

Now I have to research hotels in Valencia, Cordoba and Madrid for my road trip.

George, you need to bring Lisa along so I have a driving companion
