I give up on guessing ages. I just found out that someone I thought was between 35 and 45 is, in fact, 18. (No, not someone I saw in person or even a photo, just guessing from text.)
I'm 52, and just survived the dreaded 50-something rite of passage, (pun intended): the colonoscopy!
being childless, creative, and recreating myself every decade or so has gone along way toward... preserving youthfulness? avoiding stagnation is perhaps more accurate.
actually, I havent felt ready for a total croning ceremony, but I did have a fairly cool "young self, meet old self" birthday circle for the big 5-0.
