That's great Whimsey, welcome to the grown-ups club! Love the idea about your lizard tattoo. Funny you should say that this is the time to do whatever one previously put off. I did exactly that when I tuned 55. I took up motorcycling, ...and I just love it. My husband and I each have our own bike and have toured clear across this continent, the Yukon and Alaska. There's noting quite like it... So yes, a little gecko might just be the way to go!
Thanks for the tip.
