I had to move a pile of crappy 3/4"x4'x8' plywood sheets and some railroad ties that an AWOL contractor left in my yard. Maybe 12 sheets of plywood and 8 9"x9"x8' ties. My 30-something, fit-as-hell neighbor came over to help. When we were done, he went back to his yard to play with his kids in the pool. I went in to collapse in front of a fan with a cold drink. I'm beat.

Yep. Go up into the woods out back and dig a hole. Years later when I got my degree in environmental geology, I had a lot of things to atone for.

Old is when you think about having a third beer and then decide it's not worth the risk of a hangover the next day.

That's about the time dad explained the meaning of "tit in the ringer" to me.

...when you attend a graveside service and there are not enough chairs for all the guest. My wife and I stand around to give the chairs few remaining chairs to the older guests. All the other standing guests gesture to my wife and me to sit down in the precious remaining chairs. I look at her and she looks at me, we both look at the guests and realize that WE are the old guests everyone was waiting to give the remaining seats to. A bit depressing, but at least we are still above ground.

Stay fit and keep loading up your 401k or other retirement vehicle so you can retire at a reasonable age and in good health. My wife and I are having the time of our life! We know people who are 1/2 our age and think they are over the hill and act like it. Sad really. 20 years from now post on this forum and tell everyone how right I was back then. I may even respond if I'm not out climbing a mountain or traveling to some exotic island. |

Good for you. Embrace each year. Getting old is something you get to do if you are lucky. With health, enough money, and all the knowledge you've accumulated (and will continue to accumulate), you won't believe how fun retirement can be. For example: I'm headed to Alaska next week to go halibut and salmon fishing. We are fishing for 4 days but staying three more days just because we can. No hurry, no worries, no in basket to clear. I just have to be back in time to go on my week-long hiking trip in the Sierra.
