When I think back to an incident in college and realize it was over 20 years ago, I feel old.

Art,

Your post #17 is exacly my attitude, always has been.

You remind me so much of my Mentors & Elders - that is a compliment sir.

Too many years ago I read " The only thing left when I die - is that which don't burn" - Anon.

Yep.

I'll tell you when you know you have arrived at "oldness".  That happens when your doc wants to know if the new Physicians Assistant can be present to gain experience while he is giving you your prostate exam and hernia check.  You smile and a say "sure" and a stone fox 25 year old blonde walks into the exam room.

The "oldness" part is that you unbuckle your trousers and let em all drop and bend over and never even give her a 2nd thought.  (grin)

Grampster, I've already been through that experience. So, I'm now officially "old" by your standards, huh? Wink

As for the girls not looking at me, that started right about when I turned 40. It was a stunning revelation.

I hope that wasn't too depressing a post. I know my father's going to die in the next few years, and so does he. We talk about it openly.

Dick,

Thank you for sharing the experience, strength and hope you've found.

I'm glad to see through your 'lenses' for a time, and I for one am honored to be made privy to your thoughts.

Dad's turned 70 recently, and while he's doing plenty well (works out at the gym 3-4 days per week), he and mom are both showing signs of the flame dimming.

No one here gets out alive, and we only have 'moments' to live.
Make 'em count.

I'm still waiting for the girls to start looking at me.  When does that happen?  I'm twenty-nine.

That can get a little more than stares: most kilt-wearers I know have been groped by strange women at one point or another...

It's got to be better than not being groped at all, ever.

List of things to get/do before I die:

1) Kilt
2) Yoga class
3) Young Girlfriend (meet in in Yoga class perhaps)

The nice part, is that my "old" wife would probably find it all amusing.

As for being groped in a kilt, I have a policy: if I wouldn't want to wake up next to 'em, I don't want 'em groping me. Since waking up next to anyone BUT my wife would lead to severe lead poisoning, i think I'll just forego the pleasure... Wink

Hah, when I was a bit younger and more foolish I bounced at a club for a while. I'm sorry, correction, I was a "doorman". rolleyes   Anyhow one Halloween I dressed up as a pretty ugly woman with huge breasts and went to work. My upstairs neighbor had this size 54 bra that we stuffed with about 4 balled up tee shirts on each side. They got groped by strange women all NIGHT!! Cheesy

Lee, I can highly recommend younger girlfriends met in yoga class!

The advantages are obvious:  you become a better person--better health, better flexibility and balance and increased core strength, you become a happier person, and you do not have to wear an English skirt (i.e. kilt).Cheesy

myspace, even being totally honest about my age (late 40's)
I had a cute 19 yr old punker chick come over....
I've gotten dates with 21yr olds too!.
I used to do bikram with my ex (she's 40) I got the feeling that the gals there
didn't like me because I couldn't touch my toes...it's a great workout though.

Don't feel bad, I CAN touch my toes but they don't like me either. Tongue

I don't get the age thing. I'm 38. It only bothers me because it seems like time is getting short to complete the things I want to get done and occasionally I get frustrated by some physical limitations I've acquired over the years that prevent me from doing things, but over all? I'm happier than I've ever been and enjoying life.
