I feel da old.
« on: 2013-02-10, 20:36:26 »
Today I turn 34 years old.
 I was greeted with an annoying alarm clock and a new pain. "Must be a birthday" I thought.

Ah 34! I was so young, strong and virile. – Enjoy it while it lasts! ;)

It is not hardly, Ivan.  Don't listen to Sir Edward...he just turned 40 (incidentally, only two months ago, I did the same) and he's feeling the blues of having joined another, older decade. ;)

But it isn't downhill from here...we still have a number of good years left if Sir Brian is any indication of how to age both gracefully yet manfully as well.  I do not mean to put him out there, but if you'd ever met him, seen him fight or crossed swords with him, I doubt you'd guess that he's nearly a full ten years older than Edward or I.

So no, definitely not down hill...maybe flatlands...yea, flatlands.  ;)

34.  I remember that age well...I'm a little slower than I was then, I think I peaked at 33 or 34, but I find I'm also stronger than I was.  I attribute that to diet and exercise...on occasion.  lol
