    That's about where I am, but nobody on either side of my family has ever made it to 80, and I'm the oldest one left.

    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.

    I passed that mark back in January of this year.
    And I am sure that there are older ones just hanging out here at the Creek

    After I reached about age 50 I did not mind when students asked me how old I was. Often they would say I looked younger. I know when I was in high school we did not know how old someone was who was over 25 or so.
