So cool. Maybe one day I'll brave a con of some sort.

Indeed. I was very surprised at my new risk assessment after having a child. I have done a few wild things in the past, things that I won't easily risk today, as my very existence is now in service to someone else. It's much more drastic than the slight shift I had after getting in a long term relationship...
