The first time I felt old was about 20-some years ago when my younger cousins (like, +/- 10 yo) saw me playing Pac Man ... not only did they not know what it was (which I could've expected), but my brain locked-up when they asked "how do you win?" Win?!? You don't win video games, dammit, you play until you die, then you shove another quarter in and you play until you die, etc.

Wanna know if you are old??

If a kid asks who your favorite DJ is and you reply with someone on the radio.

E-Z Rock

I drove past a high school the other day and saw the congrats to 2015 and the was struck with the realization I graduated 20 years ago.

Did she say it nicely like you poor thing or did she say it like you stink go shower?

I thought more about the graduating stuff while I was cleaning the other day. About that time, the Things I wanted to do, the uncertainty of the future. I kinda wonder what to do next, am I happy? I feel uneasy.

I also have this one white fast growing hair on my arm. It's bizarre and I know I'm old.

Said it mean like. Like you stink. I'm sure I did. Was sweating my ass off up there. Running my acetylene, hot as hell. 12 hours. No breaks. Gas lines were a bitch... pulled out 2 old as hell Ducane units, hauled up 2 new Carriers thru a teensy scuttle... was a seriously difficult install... I was soaked with sweat. Couldn't help it. Was hard work.

Dude don't feel uneasy. We have good lives. We're both happy in marriage, you've got kids, which I an totes Jelly of. I wouldn't want to ever be a teen again, sure it was fun, and I did a lot of crazy shit but I'm lucky I lived thru it and I am where I am and as happy as I am and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

That part of life is grate. I'm lucky and thankful. I'm having trouble feeling useful lately. Most of my problems aren't really problems, you know? My life is a little vapid. I need a little bit of a new purpose.

Lie...unless you mean from grad school

I feel old by looking to the left of my posts and seeing I have been posting for 10 years...and realizing that it has been longer than that because the board went through some kind of update where the original sign in dates were lost.

If I remember correctly, I was only recently married and had no kids when I first started posting. Coast was considered the old man because he was in his fifties.

I'm starting to get to that senior status parent level at the school that you get where parents of early grade kids who are going through it the first time look to you as someone who knows what you are doing. I remember looking at those parents when I was going through it the first time, wondering how they could be so calm and disengaged. I'm still not in the old range of parents even in the younger classes, which is nice. Those are the high achievers with one kid who finally got married and had a kid as late in life as physically possible. Then there are the parents in the upper classes who can already see retirement. I'm in a nice, comfortable middle.
