The funny thing about age~

My sister noted that this blog thing is good because it lets you just ramble. Well I am having one of those days so ramble I must. You know it always seemed to be that I was young, or at least younger than most of those that I interacted with or at least the same age. Today I found out that I am OLD! I was in a committee meeting with my boss and well we got off topic and where talking about high school and a lot of other things and I asked what year he graduated. Now he looks like he should be my age or at least close to it but I found out that he graduated in 1997! So that makes him the same age as my little brother (sorry Peter I only have "little" brothers) not that I guess that is to young- but it really made me feel old that the assistant director of our department is younger, by 5 years no less, than I am. I guess that every one gets to that point where you are officially old, and I guess that I am there, the problem is that my head just can't comprehend it! I don't feel old in fact despite the fact that I have been married for 16 years and my oldest is 12 I really feel like I haven't really lived at all. I certainly haven't learned enough to be old and wise although I have had experiences that others haven't, I don't think that it makes me wise. I am old enough to say "hey remember when" and really have to strain to remember. So what really makes a person old is it the number or whats in their head? I know this... I don't know yet, maybe when I am really old and wise I will but not yet-
