50
I could say that this is going to be the high temperature today, which it is... it's been unseasonably warm for a while, with about a month straight of above average temperatures... No White Christmas for 2006.
I mean... I could say that for today...
...but, no... the 50 is up there for a reason.
Today is my birthday and I turn <shudder> 50 today.
I am no longer in my 40's... now I am viewed as being old. I think I become eligible to join AARP today.
Over the past years, I have actually started to come up against instances of ageism. I have the issue when I'm in Second Life. It doesn't matter which life I'm in, I've seen it and experienced it.
I have to rationalize that - overall - I am happy, and that I'm still alive, without any major medical issues and that I am still working full-time (which, trust me, I wouldn't do if I could find some means of support).
Happy Bitrhday to ME.
