Now that I am another year older, I don’t want to be a middle aged dork who thinks he knows it all, trust me I don’t. Saying things such as “back in my day” kinda pains me because I still think I am 27 sometimes. Of course I don’t want to be some “creepy old guy” for being friendly to those younger than myself. Growing older doesn’t mean shriveling up and being boring but being able to explore life from a place of maturity and hopefully wisdom.
Dick Van Dyke is one of the greatest entertainers in America but as a senior citizen he is connected and uses technology with the best of them and he seems to navigate the social scene very well.
I want to navigate the world in a relevant way while still representing my generation and sharing my life’s experiences with those I love and like. Blogging helps me stay in the know and informs me of what the world is in the here and now.

When I was in my forties, I thought sixties were older. Now, I’m in my fifties, and I don’t see seventies as older. I resolve the fact that older is a state of being, it’s really not an age. Forty-seven is still young.

Happy (belated?) birthday, Tony! 47 isn’t old at all, and you are you despite your age. Age is just one thing, it doesn’t define you.

Remember when we used to think being in our 40’s was pretty old. I just turned 45 in August and I think “Man! How did I get here?” Still don’t have the answer but gonna try to make every moment count.
