Middle Age.
If I plan on living until I am 108 years old then I am officially middle age today.
With the exception of a few speed bumps and potholes along the way it has been an excellent journey so far! Cheers!

Thanks, Baz!
I have a little border collie asleep at my feet and a nice whiskey in my hand. We had my parents over for dinner and cake today. Dad is almost 89 and mom isn't too far behind. Spent most of the day with my son and we chopped and stacked some wood for the camping season. Pretty damn good day. Cheers!

Sounds like you are enjoying life. That's the important thing at any age. I have to say your preferences change as you enter different stages of life. It's a thing that continues your whole life. Whether you live to 108 or 68, enjoy whatever time you have. I have a friend that is 102. She's tired of hanging around and tells me she's ready to leave every time I talk to her. She's in good physical health for her age, sharp of mind, and has led a life more interesting than 99% of the population. She is just looking at the end as the next stage of life. Enjoy your time here, however how much it is.

Happy birthday Bill.
I'm described as middle aged. Hell my dad was only one year older than me when he carked it, so I'm past the middle aged bit. But enjoy. Us old gits don't have to worry about anything. LOL, someone else can fix the world. |

Yea, it is funny how "middle age" get higher and higher as one gets older. 36 is median middle age.
As a kid I remember reading the book 2001 A Space Odyssey while begging my mom to take me to see it in CinemaScope. At the time I did the math on how "old" I was going to be in 2001 and it was a scary number. I was going to be OLD!!!!

In ten more years, if you do something crazy or ill-advised in a foreign country, make sure your son will come and get you.
