Well you may be right, maybe *most 80+ yr olds do clammer for a woman 1/3 their age. That's one thing...but fathering a child at that age-most have no desire for that

His intent is NOT to play second string to anyone. He has an ego the size of a football stadium. He loves the limelight-always has...always will. Loves the attention he gets. It is what drives him, and I can't see him ever resorting to being someone's advisor
