having begun my second undergraduate degree at the age of 41.

That would make knowledgeable Ben Bookman Old Style or Book Antiqua

My definition of reaching adulthood was when I suddenly (and seriously) thought about my eventual demise. Which was only a few years ago BTW :-). Suddenly, the second half seems to have an end.....which was something that "less than" adults (ie, when I was one) rarely thought about.
After spending life raising three girls and seeing them disappear to their own worlds, we are happy to see them understand they do have choices, they do make them and the ones they have made have enhanced their enjoyment of life in general. Can't ask for more than that.
So Damien, suggested "end point" could be when the risk taking becomes untenable.

Hard News: My Food Bag: is it any good?, in reply to Martin Lindberg,
So long as it’s not carp.
We have done - and probably about to do - some stupid things.
Koi Carp. I thought they were put in drains to keep them clear of weeds. Then the drains flooded and took them into the Waikato. But this says otherwise but the damage is done.
Just like shitty turd beetles which it the latest to look likely to get a head start reading this opinion piece. This debate has been going on for a few years so it looks like someone wants the report to say what they really really want.

Hard News: Vivid, lively, unruly, in reply to Keir Leslie,
Also, unfortunately, local government turn out to be a nest of retrograde clowns as far as culture goes surprisingly often.
"Art? Art?" says the nest of retrograde clowns....."the Great Unwashed know nothing about art".
But at least I know what I like.....

Why not put this here:
Sciblogs “Bill” has this to say about EQCs latest Gangland Response to Angry Christchurch Citizen.

One — always, always, it is important to remember that EQC has not fulfilled the insurance policy that we all paid for. We paid money for many years in order to have full restitution within a year in the case of an earthquake. Two years after February, two and a half years after September, and still the earthquakes are costing the citizens and property owners of Christchurch. EQC did not sort things out and did not make people whole and never will.
