I'm thinking the goal is to get old but still feel you can do all of the things you did when younger. They just take longer now.
57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.

When I was 10, 20 was old. When I was 20, 40 was old. When I was 50 I didnt feel old till I went hunting with some 20 year olds. Now I just think old is better than the alternative

In my opinion, it has nothing to do with years. Some people spend their lives landing on the tarmac. Others pretty much land off the runway, outside the lights...

I'm 65. I just retired on Jan. 31. Still trying to find my rhythm. Sometimes I still feel like I'm 20 years old, other times I feel like 90!  The old saying, "Growing old is not for sissies" sure is true.

The idea is to die young as late as possible. I think a lot of feeling old is a mind thing. I think we don't do things because we think we are old. Mind over body.
