Signs of age-related madness
1. Agreeing to be chaperone to dozens of grade sevens and eights in New York City for a week.
2. Doing so starting on the very morning the entire US government has shut down.
Welcome to Warren’s World.
Bring them to lay a wreath at 315 Bowery.
Man you’re going to have fun. And so will the kids!
Take the gang to the Shake Shack on Murray (behind the WTC site). Great burgers and lots of space if fed gov employees furloughed.

Age related madness occurs when you look at the roster for your NHL team, and realize that you are at least 30 years older than EVERY member of the team!
Not madness, making wonderful memories. In XX years from now the stories of the trip will be told at the dinner table with the addition of partners and grandchildren and you will look at them all and think “yeah, I did alright”. You know what it important. You have it figured out before it is too late. Enjoy, take photos, have some laughs and remember the moments.
Not madness. Impending sainthood! I taught Grade 7 and 8 for 11 years. Bravo to you. And what a trip! Have fun!
I always thought that if you’re gonna have a mid-life crisis, you should enjoy it (dammit!) And going to the Big Apple, no less. I’ve always wanted to go there. My cousin went and she had a blast.
You’re giving yourself some fantastic memories, but moreover, you’re giving those kids a gift that cannot be bought–the experience. Way to go, WK!
