It was the relaxation, non-bikeing, over winter that did it, not old age ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

My kids say I'm old. Then I ask what they think about my granddad (he's 80)and then, cruel as kids can be, they say:"He's almost dead!" Yep that cruel alright, but their kids, they'll learn... The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

I attended my 40th high school reunion this past October. Some of the folks there looked as good as they did when we graduated, some looked like they'd been rode hard and put away wet, and too many were no longer with us... The band we hired included two of our classmates, and they played "Dark Side of the Moon" and others we grew up on.... The #1 button on my car radio is 95.7 The Fox Classic Rock. They play all that good stuff. The #2 button is a local station that plays 40s, 50s, and 60s "Nostalgia" music. Donald Infernal Optimist / Submariner, retired |

Julie, I know your age! It's kids being kids, at their age they would think that :-) My Granddad drank cranberry juice as part of His diet, He was into healthy food before health food was even known as a concept. The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Julie Anyone over 20 is "old" to your two girls ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

I'll start feeling old, when I start looking my age. Currently a wild guess usually is some 5-10 years short. :) btw WinterKnight, are you sure you should be doing such strenous exercise at your age? ;) *ducks* A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. (Mark Twain) |

I'm told I don't look like My age at all, My hairline has not receded or started to go grey and My reddish hair is still thick, My Brother had the same problem, except His was greying on the sideburns a bit, but then He was 61 then in 2005, I'm merely 52 by comparison.

Julie Yeah, but if you say that to them, they'll just roll their eyes at you... or worse. David Sitting on my butt while others boldly go, Waiting for a message from a small furry creature from Alpha Centauri. |

One of my grandsons just turned 14. And one day he said I wish I was older. The wife and I at the same time said dont ever wish that. The the two of us tried to explain that before you know it you will be older. And it goes quick. When we watch a movie we say oh that was only made a few years ago. Yeah, A few years ago is right, Like 20 to 30 years ago. Youth is wasted on the young:) [/quote] Old James |

The lunatic is on the grass The lunatic is on the grass Remembering games and daisy chains and laughs Got to keep the loonies on the path The lunatic is in the hall The lunatics are in my hall The paper holds their folded faces to the floor And every day the paper boy brings more And if the dam breaks open many years too soon And if there is no room upon the hill And if your head explodes with dark forbodings too I'll see you on the dark side of the moon In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.
