When did you realize that you were old?

I think that would probably be a bit hard.

I dunno, your old blonde feminine pics wouldn't make it that much of a stretch.   

Not that much of a stretch to a white child?

[Alcibiades]

With some bleaching and that attitude?  I believe in you.

I don't feel old, body goes to hell over time, but I am really just a kid.  I mean, I still bike 100 miles a week from April-October, I am healthy enough, and I am good mentally.  I might bitch about the class I teach and having to try and get 18 year old kids to understand, but that is actually good.

Yeah not too shabby. 

My old college history teaching seemed to get a buzz out of teaching modern history to 16-18 year olds who all actually wanted to learn; I guess in its in part a bit similar with you and your 18 year old/undergrads (or what do you call them, freshmen?).

I havent.

But starting next spring I'm going to see.

For the record, most bald men are sexy.

That's definitely false.

Speak for yourself, youngun'.

It isn't that. It's just that a lot of bald men come with...a lot extra.

For some years now, every morning at 0600 when the alarm goes off.

You should feel pretty young sleeping in so late.

When on duty its 0430, so deployments age me faster. LOL

[Martim Silva]

I'm not old.

It's the kids that are TOO young.

I just have to get used to the fact that people will keep getting younger, thus giving me an experience edge.

And I get to have fun memories of stuff from my childhood that they will never have, like this one (that I suppose most of you will also have):

Of course, there ARE some things that irk me, like someone saying...

Yeah, I'm the only one born before the fall of the USSR in my class on USSR's history.

As in 'born in the days of the Union' was a sign of age...

I mean, as an adult at the time, I have some rather... vivid... memories of the time when that upstart ex-leader of the Sverdlovsk region and current President of Russia, Boris Nikolayevich Yeltsin, managed to stop the coup and moved to break the Union.
