Mental note: Amusement parks are not for 40 year old dads. TheBoy is a little too young for the serious stuff and daddy doesn't care for water rides (something about being the pack mule and carrying electronics and such).
With time to kick back and people-watch, I am amazed that I ever made it out of my teen years. Watching the young men strut, preen, and otherwise participate in the elaborate rituals of being single young men makes me glad I don't have to do it.
I'd hare to have to get the obviously required lobotomy...
That is all.

You don't have to. The hormones and AXE body spray pretty effectively shut down most higher brain functions.
It's even worse when you have to watch someone you care about suffer through the teen years.
Your going to have a teenage son someday.
I have two...
Twitch...twitch..twitch...
"Mental note: Amusement parks are not for 40 year old dads."
Nah. What amusement parks are not-for are people who think they have to behave like grownups. Hard to have amusement-park-style fun when you think you need to look dignified.
As for water rides and electronics: either get a waterproof carry-bag, or leave the damned things at home.
Just survived one of my 20 Somethings Niece's wedding last night. Rampaging Hormones nearly Flooded the Reception Hall. SOOOOglad I'm beyond that Stage.
But their music does suck.
Come-on Jay.. let your hair down and have fun. ( figuratively speaking of course). Personally I would probably feel like you do. I'm not a big crowd person and people watching is a bit scary now adays. Everyone thinks your a perv if your sitting on a bench in dark glasses..hehehehe.
And Les...But their music does suck.
I AGREE!!
Or you HAD it, and grew out of it...LOL
While watching my son being a typical teenage boy I asked my Dad if he remembered my teen years? He grunted a yes. Then I asked "How did I get through them without you killing me?"
Dad told me "Your Grandfather was rather fond of you. I didn't want to disappoint him."
Then as he walked away he pointed at my son and said "I'm rather fond of him."
