OT: How old are you?
Inspired by Cranberry's comment on the Windsor topic. I'm 30, feeling like 24 - I'm not sure if I just refuse to grow up or feel that way because I _still_ don't have enough money, I thought that would improve with age.
Oh, and you don't have to answer that indiscreet question, of course.

I feel 60 when I get up in the morning; 5 when I get home to my 2-year-old.
50 when I start running, 30 after half an hour, and 20 after an hour. 60 an hour later when the endorphins run out and aches set in.
35 when I start cooking dinner, 65 when I start thinking about how much saturated fat is in it.
Average it all out, I'm 42.
To build on what Ron said, I also think there are more benefits than drawbacks as your years advance. I think the most important is wisdom. You've made many mistakes, seen many more, and, hopefully, learned from each one of them and learned perspective and respect. There are many more things that I like about being middle-aged. There are some drawbacks, too, but I'd say they're all physical -- aches and the occasional forgetful moment. I wouldn't give up a bit of it to be a teenager again.

- Tell us something.: Long ago, I was told that I faked iTrad whistle work very well. I took that comment to heart. 20 years of private lessons - and many, many hours of rehearsal later - I certainly hope I have improved...

I'm 21 since last March. I think I'd prefer the right to rent a car at 21, and consume alcohol at 25. I much prefer the car.
What is this "whiz-dumb" of which you speak? I out to get me some of that.
Alas, still young and unlearned.
But then, every year is the most rewarding when you are living it.
I would not be 20 nor 22 today for all the world.
Cheers!
