52 now. I felt much older when I was younger. I feel much younger now, sort of like the The Birds song. Always kept fit, never put on weight.

It's funny but............

In truth, my salary in the eighties and nineties was more than double what it was from 2008 forward. Not only that, my former occupation is nearly extinct in 2012. Those left doing it make about the same I did but need to cover three states to accomplish it as opposed to half of one state, fifty three never looked better, except maybe over the hood of my Spyder.

51, took a year off work and drove my 9 year old around to all of his activities
In the best physical shape of my adult years
He doesn't say it but 4 years later, my son still gets a kick out of being dropped off at school in a Porsche. Especially top down days.
