I'm 74...I think?
When I turned 70 I banned all calendars from the house (by executive order)and all reference to months.
Now hot days are referred to as "summer" and cold days are "winter" :wink:

You're only as old as you feel. This morning, for example, I was 95!

Driver's license says I'll hit 68 in about 3 weeks.

Hey guys this don't look too good, I just read all the age posts and discovered most of us are over the age of 60. I don't want to play the Grim Reaper but with in the next 15 years will all be pushing up weeds at the local cemetery.

I'll be 68 in February and counting.
