Nick-nowak Quote by Marshall Thornton

“I was staring down thirty-five in a few months. While I might have thought forty was old when I was her age, I’d since decided to move that particular goal post down the field to somewhere around sixty. And I reserved the right to make it even older if I survived the next ten years.” quote by Marshall Thornton
