There is this really neat sense I am getting about turning 50 years of age. There was this absolute sense of dread about turning 30, and then 40... but 50, now, seems a lot different. I am no longer an old young person... I am going to be a young old person... and that, somehow, is making all the difference.
It's like people don't expect me to try and keep up with the younger kids, anymore.
Not that I ever did that, mind you. I was always more comfortable, socially, with older people, anyway. Older people, or else those so much younger than me that I get to be the Old Man in the Furs, to them. People my age were never impressed with me. But the Scorpio is said to look old in youth, and young in age...
And I am ready for some of that, now!
