Personally I am still waiting for my brain and body to catch up with the calendar. I still don’t know what will come first, my mid-life crisis or my 2nd childhood.
With 40 being the new 30. and AARP membership starting at 50, middle age is disappearing. It’s like you have to jump right from being a kid to becoming a senior.
I have just the opposite perception, Uncle Ted. The age I am now I’d have considered beyond decrepit when I was ten or even twenty, whereas now, it would barely get me a senior discount at the movies (if we could go to the movies), and, aside from the grocery folks annoyingly and very unnecessarily asking if I’d like “help” out to my car, no one seems much to notice my age…
So, to sum up, I think I won’t feel like a ‘senior citizen’ till I’m much older than, in my youth, I’d have thought I would.

Then there was the couple at the bar. The guy says to his wife: “Look at that old couple down there.” She says: “That’s a mirror.”
