He's kinda pissed. This ain't going the way he'd like at all. Probably bad for his ego. I like it.<BR/><BR/>And Nate, techie hookup toys aside, the <I>other</I> significant downside of the whole 'Endless Summer' fantasy is as old as the coulees where I live: yeah, you can still perpetrate kids when you're 40, or 45, or 60 -- but you will be 60, or 65, or 80, by the time that they become anything like adult. Come to that, you'll completely lack the youthful energy to rear 'em (years of 2 a.m. nappy patrols, anyone?), they'll likely shun you as a truly-outta-touch geez by the time they're little 12 year old hipsters, and odds are high that by the time <I>they</I> marry, you'll be, uh, oh yeah, <I>dead</I>.
