It's actually probably all downhill from 40 but it's a slow decline, thankfully.
I remember standing outside of the Town and Country club in St. Paul, MN. after one of my many cousin's weddings back in the '90s. I was in my early 30s. A Catholic priest who my older cousins knew was with us. He asked my cousin Joe how old he was, (knew him since early childhood). My cousin answered that he was 40 and said something about, "life begins @ 40..."
The priest answered,
"Oh BS! It's all downhill from here..." We all nearly fell over laughing.
