    ... you see in the news of people dying who were born when you were in Vietnam, and graduating from school. And then when you see they're 50 something..... you know you're old. LOL I need a drink.

    I frequently am reminded of my age whenever I interview/hire kids who were born, after I graduated college or when I go to my kid's place...

    Your service is much appreciated.
    However, I'm still young in that regards.

    Thursday I held the door open for a lot of college students entering the building where I had my next class and I heard "That old guy was nice to hold the door open." That's how you know you're old, others let you know.

    When you opt for a cold beer in the recliner instead of downtown on a Saturday night.

    I can't believe I A) Did that and B) admitted to it.

    When the people you hire were born 10 years after you we're hired.

    I seem to be on the other end of this when people ask how old I am at work, they then go onto to explain how they have kids older then me.

    I shrunk an inch this year. Kinda shocked me a little. I thought I was too young for that but time waits for no one.

    Getting older will be interesting. I think I was still a toddler when most of you became eligible for a senior discount.

    You're 3 years away from marriage and kids. Just accept it.

    When you still think you can play in the Alumni Basketball tournament, but hurt for two weeks after playing in just two games.
