63, gulp. This one bothers me more than I thought it would since I just realized I am closer to 65 than 60. I guess I am old.

funny thing is, in my heart I still feel like I am 35..except when I look in the mirror and see my father staring back at me...

Just wait 'til you get closer to 70, like myself, and they stop singing Happy Birthday and start singing Nearer My God To Thee...

Going to be 68 in December. What you have to look forward to, Bilge_Rat: in the past year, I have had people on the bus get up and offer me their seat; nothing makes feel suddenly older than the first time that happens...

Yes I am already entitled for old age pension but not while my wife is still working.

You always have to be 2 up on me Vienna!! No one has offered up their seat for me yet, if they got the chance they would probably take it!!
