Well, I am certainly looking forward to meeting them. It's just that when thinking about people getting older and needing help that I start to get worried. Not that I don't plan on helping, it's just that worrying is what I do.

My dad's almost 73, and he's taken on a lot of responsibility -- he's got a new wife who doesn't speak a word of English and has no marketable skills, a new teenaged son who doesn't speak much English and a ten year old adopted son whose adopted mother is dead.

And my own mom is no spring chicken and no savings whatsoever.

And my kids are 17 and 20 and need to be put through college.

I tend to bite my nails a lot.
