    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    Dont feel 50 though, being around school children helps to keep the child alive.
    Do you teach kids Anthony?

    Virgil, I've been meaning to tell you, when my dad was your age he seemed like he was becoming decrepit, always bemoaning his outrageously high number of years--but then he turned 50 a couple of years ago, and I've never seen him looking so youthful, vital, and healthy. It makes me think of Odysseus standing up to the challenge of Laodamas.
    Anyway, I can see the same thing happening in your case, Virgil. Look forward to 50!
    it makes me think of an old guy full of hormones that have slumbered for 35 years, have suddenly been woken up and haven't caught on to his chronological age!
    well in general... but in this particular case, I think our Virgil is much too nice and decent to turn out that way

    I'll be 26, same age bracket as last year. That's not much better than 28. You run out of significant birthdays after you turn 21. I liked 17 and 21. Although you're officially grown-up, come-of-age, mature, major and what not over here at 18, 21 sounded so much better.
    I think I'll stop counting or skip the even numbers.

    15 doesnt sound too bad...but i kinda like the sound of 14 for some reason. It was nice in a way, like young but not too young. 15 seems so much older for some reason...
    2007 is an exciting year though! Ive made the grand decision to go to university right before it ends. GAH! (a good type of gah)

    An amazing three-quarters under thirty!
    I hardly know what to say.
    Maybe I should change my logon name to Rip, as in van Winkel, . . . . . but it sounds younger.
    74 and, no, no words of advice.
    Lots of good memories, though.

    I'm stuck in my age bracket for a while I turn 21 in March...wooo legal all over again! lol...

    When you grow up knowing that 21 is legal (for clubbing and drinking), and then move at the age of 16 to a place where 18 is legal, you celebrate 18 but then you go back to visit and you're not legal again...it takes away the magic of the age...

    I guess it all doesn't matter, since no matter how you look at it I've been clubbing since 18 and there's no changing that...
    You learn more about a road by travelling it than by consulting all of the maps in the world.

    Since the only way I know of to stop aging is to die..turning 46 isn't so bad after all
