Sorry, ale, I'm 40. But, if it's any consolation, I wake up sometimes feeling much older.

Haven't most chess players your age already gone mad?

No doubt. You know what they say: Youth is wasted on the young. 🙂

Nobody at this house except the thermostat, now and then, but I'm hopeful muppyman may choose to reply. He's a prince among men.

Nothing to do with this post really, but I must finish it.

Youth is wasted on the young, and wisdom is wasted on the old.

You don't have to be old to be wise, and age doesn't insure to wisdom.

True Again. 🙂

I like music 40's through around 80's, I guess.

My favorite is doo wop and older rock (like Beatles, Dave Clark Five, Ray Charles, Sam Cooke, you get the idea 🙂 ).
