My Russian buddy Stepan and I discussed maturity this morning over coffee.  I told him Grandpa Lauro’s maxim that, with boys, the blood doesn’t ever really start getting to the brain until about age 30.

Stepan laughed and said, “We have a saying like that in Russia, too, but I can’t tell you what it is.”

I asked, “Why not?”

He said, “Well, the saying is the something only gets to the something.  You are going to have to figure out what are the two somethings for yourself.”
