Don't feel too bad, Phil, I'm only a year behind you.... 51

I have 10- and 12-yr-old boys that sometimes make me feel 30 but more often make me feel 65....

58 - darn near 59. Last Saturday I went to my nephew's high school hockey game. The ticket takers asked me if I wanted a 60+ card which would get me in free. Ugh! Until the last decade, I was always taken to be 10-12 years younger than I really was. I asked how far from 60 did the girls think I was? One said seven years, the other fifteen. That made me feel good - but, still, they offered me a 60+ card which must have meant I appeared to be in that age neighborhood and they were being nice. Took the card.

Fellow old bastards: My kid is 32 and married, so he only makes me feel older, not younger. Neutral

For some reason, while I have friends my age and older, I have many friends that are much younger than me. One of my best friends is only a couple of years older than my son! But other than physically feeling older, I don't mind being old at all. All my life experiences (good and bad) help me make MUCH better decisions than I did in my younger days. Other than my memory, I'm a LOT smarter than I use to be...uh...what were we talking about? Mr. Green

I'm quite surprised that there's so many of us younger guys around...

Moose, you and I may have to get down to months and days to find out who the winner (loser??) is. I am surprised to find out that there are a lot of younger people interested in the quality of an older technology that often needs considerable effort to get the best out of. It is good!!

49 but will be <gulp> 50 in April. Like alot of us at the half century mark there are days when I feel like a kid again, and days when I feel as if I've been rolled down a mountain. Rolling Eyes

And Mr. Luft...you're family theater website damn near gave me a heart attack! (demonic clown cackling). Holy hell that gave my blood pressure meds a workout! Laughing

A great looking theater tho!

Gotta run...I think it's either time for my nap, or time to go to the bathroom...I can't remember. I'll know one way or the other in a few minutes. Mr. Green

28 - I most often prefer older technologies, usually the newest technology in any category is flakey at best, and takes considerable time to reach quality levels of technology that has had decades of development, if it ever catches up.
