Early middle age?
I had a harrowing experience this last week. One of the students in a seminar I'm leading commented to a friend (out of my hearing: this is second-hand) that she wouldn't be surprised to hear that I was anywhere between 25 and 40. Yes, that's right. She wouldn't be surprised to hear that I was 40!
No offense to any of my 40 or almost-40 year-old friends, but I'm thinking "ouch". I know I'm not a spring chicken anymore, and she did also say that she wouldn't be surprised if I was 25; but still, with a birthday coming up that doesn't make one all that excited. I then realized when looking through my class lists there are university students now who were born in the '90's. I used to not think I would mind getting older - and in all honesty I don't. But I still don't want to be asked if I remember Woodstock by some pip-squeek 90's kid.

Yep. You're old. Old, old, old. Have a happy b-day, little bro!
