I hope my mind never catches up with the age I see on paper. We were all young at one time & everybody gets their turn at being old.

Let's see -- I retired just before my 70th birthday and went backpacking in the Baltic states. -- Did a dig for the Hermitage in St Petersburg Russia on an island -- I taught a bunch of college kids how to use pick and shovel for 8 hours and not get wiped out. Spent 2 weeks on the dig and then 2 weeks with a woman in an apartment in St P. then on to Finland, Estonis, Lithuania, Latvia and Poland. Sometimes in a hostel, sometimes with quilters.
My last mountain/cliff climbing was when I was 75. Now I'm an "old " married lady. I used to say I wanted to grow up to be a lady like my great aunt -- who wandered the world alone also until she was in her 90s
maybe someday I will really grow up -- but not yet -- I'm having too much fun
I totally agree with you. I am 71 and mostly still feel like I did when I was younger. I know people who are a lot younger than me and look older and really act older. I think that comes from not "doing" anything or having any interests to take you places. I have lost so many friends that I don't have anyone to pal around with any more except red hatters. But I still go and do just about anything I want to. I plan to keep doing it for many more years. Oh yes, I have aches and pains too but have a high pain threshold and I mostly just ignore it.
