Ahh, things we do for love...

your youngest lived at home till he was 45?

your wife's cooking has got to be terrific :D

No, silly! When I was about his age. I guess I didn't write that right. I'll go fix it.
The year was 2003/4 I guess I was 50 then, so in truth, a little older than OP.As much as I love my three, at age 63,I'm sure glad, they don't still be home, more than a few hours a week.
As to my wife's cooking; WHEN she cooks, it is in fact, very very good!
