How does is feel to cross the half century mark?

Thank you Sir!!! It's a sobering one for me, but it's been a great day.
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

50 was kind of sobering to me too, but this year is my 60 and that one gives me more pause. 60 was aways my threshold for getting old, I guess I can't keep putting it off. I am old. :lol:

Youngsters !

When Derek was born, I was 24...Why.. he isn't even a Boomer.

Now..as far as a big number birthday...my 75th is this year....

50 crossed over without notice, 60..we had a party...70...that felt bigger...but 75 ? Sounds darn old.

My big milestone birthdays were 5, 13, 16, 18, 21, 25. After that they have all been pretty lackluster. But I would think 100 would be big. I'm going for that one. 100 and lucid.

I saw Bob Seger a few months before 74. He still has his voice. I saw him several times in the 70's and if you closed your eyes you couldn't tell the difference.
