Wasn't that you're as young as you feel? Or is that a case of the glass is half full or half empty?

No, it's "You're as young as you act."

Which puts me somewhere around 12 I would guess.

Wow I didn't know Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings! Oh wait does anybody remember Wings? That was like 20 years ago!

Old? What silliness.
I recall being in junior high science class, after the "British Invasion" on the Ed Sullivan Show. Everyone was going crazy about the Beatles.... except me. I thought they were a passing fad.

To this day.... if I say turn left.... you are better off turning right!

It is a gift.

Looks like we share a lot in common! I have a seriously defective 'directional' gene. But at least I'll ask directions.......over and over!

Cute.... over and over.
I solved that one by getting a portable GPS.

I used to be much more serious.
Now, I think I have more fun.

Thanks, for the comparison.... I knew I liked you.

Age is for the young ones who think they still have to count. (Mostly so they can get their little grubby hands legally on the good stuff).

I don't mind getting older - means I am still breathing and can now do the stuff that is real fun without being silly to get caught - that's called experience

But I didnt' know Ringo is still around - thought Pauly is the last one standing. Mmmh - more news for me this year. But I wouldn't go to his concert even if you gave me the ticket and paid me for it. Too many bad experience with the "Retirement Fund is empty - lets try it again" concerts of the oldies who just don't know when it is time to drop the microphone and take up crocheting.

Bah! "Old" doesn't even start until you hit eighty. "Jeez" doesn't apply until you're in your nineties. And "aw" is strictly reserved for those over a hundred!

I saw Janis Joplin in about 1968 at the Monterey Rock Festival.

I started talking to a young 20-something guy at work and he had never heard of Janis. And his knowledge of the Beatles was just a couple of songs.

Yea.. It's hell getting old.
