You're never too old to get a new step-parent. I'm in my late 40s and my widowed mom remarried just a few years ago -- she's 80, he's 85. I resisted calling him my step-dad at first, but now I do because he's part of the family.
Anyway, the deal with Lloyd is not that he's incompetent or foolish -- it's that he's frighteningly competent; knows how to repair, build, and upholster fine furniture, ran training schools for the developmentally disabled, captained an artillery battery in WWII and was in on the Battle of the Bulge, worked his way through college in the Depression, made a lot of money investing in the 90s and hung on to most of it. Still sharp as a tack, too. Frankly, he's intimidating :-).
