Yeah - then I'd be qualified to be an astronaut.

Yes, you are definitely old, or at least you will age quickly. That's nearly the same thing.


(congrats!)

Good point reader. I neglected the after-effects-aging of driving.

I better double my tennis playing to counter-act it.

Well, drivers licenses don't work on their own. He'll need a car. Give your son the clunker and go buy a fancy red sportscar. That is what I plan to do to counter my aging.

Until he steals the red car and crashes it. But, granted its a temporary workaround 🙂

Let's put it this way. You know you're old when:

1. ...fully grown people ask you what a vinyl is.
2. ...cool bands like CCR and BTO are "hu?" to people around you.
3. ...you can get more pleasure from a computer than your right-hand relationship.*
4. ...using your left-hand has a very familiar feeling to it.*
5. ...you need a pair of mirrors to see your fringe.
6. ...even the less attractive 30-year young women says: "Yeah, right".*
7. ...the TV has more than two channels (I'm a swede) and people laugh at you for saying there were only two channels when you grew up and that was more than enough.
8. ...you're using phrases like: "when I was a kid".
9. ...your kids get their driver's license.
10. ...you actually spend time pondering existential questions.

* Actually, these are more indicative of being lonely I suppose, but I couldn't think of any more. 😕

I guess I'm just not that old yet. 😏

I've had discussions about soviet union with the 20 year old. they have no idea what I'm talking about. I might as well be talking about the roman empire. it's all just some old stuff in the books as far as they're considered.

Oh man! I guess I am old then. I mean, it seems like yesterday when
Gorbachyov worked to end the cold war. Surely they knew who Gorbachyov is,
right? I mean, only one of the most influential and important political
leaders of all time. Tell me I'm not that old.

I need a beer. 😞

Only old people drink beer (or wine).

Young people drink mixed drinks. 😛

And your kids have learned about the moon landings in history books.
