Regarding a birth year guitar, I saw an affordable 1950 Martin for sale last week at a local store, from Joe Satriani's collection. My first thought was "wow, a birth year guitar", and it looks to be in decent shape for it's age (kind of like me.) But that was closely followed by wondering if 1950 was a good year for Martins. At that point I didn't feel old, but more like I may be spending too much time on this forum.

Things that make me feel old? - talking or reading about 'old age' especially when people 10 - 15 years younger think they qualify!
Then there's the adverts targeting the 'Over Fifties'...

Seeing some marketing pieces I helped develop (for energy saving light bulbs) in the Edison exhibit of the Smithsonian Museum of American History made me feel old. Then , just when I was getting past it, I saw a bunch of my favorite Dylan albums/CDs for sale in the gift shop. Just added insult to injury.

It's been nearly 20 years since Jerry Garcia died.

Being the baby of the family, I distinctly remember my mother saying on the day before my 30th birthday, "It's unbelievable, but the baby turns thirty tomorrow".
That was thirty years ago.

A few things that make me feel old... I've had 18 major surgeries and numerous doctors of several specialties. I hate having a doctor who looks 14 years old to me.
My brother used to be in business with me before he passed at age 47. We were at the courthouse filling out paperwork for a sign installation permit and the lady, seeing both our names, asked me if he was my son! There was 8 years between us. Both of my sons are 2 inches and 4 inches taller than me. On my rural street we have a neighborhood bbq a few times a month. A 31 year old guy lives in the biggest house on my road. He's single and has a party on his patio every weekend I'm always invited to. After 3 or 4 beers I have to leave by 10 at night to go to bed! They continue on until 3 or 4 in the morning. I work out in a local gym 4 days a week for an hour at age 64. I thought I made a lot of progress when I doubled weights I was lifting. That is until I saw a teenager effortlessly lifting twice what I was. The kid was skinny as a rail with no discernible muscles! I mow my 1 acre yard and weed trim. Takes about an hour and a half. I have to go nap for 2 hours afterwards. I'm much too young to be this **** old. Mentally I'm stuck in my late 30's. It is cruel that my body will no longer comply with that! A few women from my 20's contacted me on Facebook. I was shocked to see former Playboy bunny level women looking like an old great aunt of mine. I gotta stop now before I have to go to bed for days in a depression!
