Just saw on Neil Peart's personal page he's about to become a father again. Wonderful news, given he was so hesitant following the death of his wife and daughter in the 90s. He remarried a woman from LA and lives in Santa Monica now and he had mentioned in another site update that he and his wife were talking kids, but after burying one, he was finding the idea of another child very difficult to deal with.
No doubt Neil's wife will be financially secure should he check out earlier than anyone would like. Thing is, he turns 57 in September. His wife, IIRC, is in her early 40s. That means dealing with a teenager when he's in his 70s. Ouch. Guys, would you want to do that? At some point, would you just say no, I'm past the point of fatherhood? Curious to hear what the ladies here think as well.
