Tom and Katie.

My first thought was - ew.

He’s 42. She’s 26.

Ew.

Although they are pretty together. But ... ew.

1. Hey there now...I was 28 and Jay 42 when we met…

2. Hmmm.

   My apologies if I offended. Generally speaking, I think couples should be closer in age. Just my 2 cents.

3. What! Does the age difference bother you? The general guide is that the woman be half the man’s age plus 7. So he’s not far off. For me, that means I should be looking for someone who’s 37. Not bad.

4. Jen,

   Not offended at all.  Just thought I’d tease you a bit.  I think there are some real benefits to keeping ages a little closer, I just didn’t manage it myself.  Heh.

5. Uncle Bill, yuck! Your nieces are that age, fer cryin’ out loud.

   Deb, glad to hear it. And I do realize that there are exceptions to every rule. It’s just my own issue, I suppose.

6. And plus that way I got someone young enough to produce several kids with me, instead of being lucky if we could have any at all.

7. True dat.

8. Uncle Bill, I’ve heard “half plus seven” as the absolute MINIMUM below which it’s sketchy.  This is, of course, right on the age.

9. Edge.  Right on the edge, I meant.

10. So let’s forget the fact that Tommy Boy has been in the business since she was a 1 year old?

    Posted by Jaynee  on  04/28/05  at  02:19 PM

11. Exactly! Ew.

12. well, my parents are 13 years apart, so it doesn’t bother me at all.

    My first thought was, “Is this a publicity stunt??”

    Posted by caltechgirl  on  04/28/05  at  04:29 PM

13. I think they met on the set of “Ricky Business 2: More Risky”

    ...so kidding!

14. I think I’d always be comparing myself to Penelope Cruz or Nicole Kidman, age difference to Tom aside.

15. She’s also a better actor by far than he’ll ever be, though that’s a backhanded compliment: IMHO, he’s the weakest element of every single movie he’s been in except Risky Business.  I can’t think of a single one where someone else wouldn’t have been better cast.

16. I’d rather my dearest Joey go unspoiled, but I suppose Tom is better than that vacant-eyed, airheaded nincompoop she was dating before.
