With, or without ever having read Mark Twain.

I guess I'm a bit like Moejoe, still 17 in the mind even if I've been that age for more years than I care to remember. I may grow older, no one ever said that I had to grow up.

It's almost awe-inspiring to realize that one can celebrate the 45th anniversary of one's 21st birthday....

To paraphrase the prophet; never trust anyone under 50.

Me too, except my imminence is all of a few hours away (Monday). So, that makes me older than you. If there's any wisdom or voice of experience you wish for me to impart from my position of seniority, you just let me know (Free sample: Turn off the cake-beaters before you lick them).

To paraphrase Lady Bracknell:

Twenty-nine is a very attractive age. Society is full of women of the very highest birth who have, of their own free choice, remained twenty-nine for years.

If such a thing exists, I'm about four: I can type a little and that's it. Good thing, because you are never as cute as when you're four!
