So this septuagenarian is considering wedding a 22-year-old tennis pro, and all his friends are counseling him against it. To no avail. Finally, in desperation, a friend urges him, “Kirk, consider the physical consequences. What about sex? What if the strain is just too much?” To which the elderly gentleman replies, “Hey, life is a risk: If she dies, she dies.”
Old joke. One that I find increasingly funny as 70 begins to loom on my own horizon more like Catalina than Fiji. But one that is at the heart of a family law case coming soon to a theater near you.
