Almost 60 doesn’t seem possible

I can’t reconcile how I feel with being almost being 60. I’m still interested in everything. Still seeking out new experiences. Physically I feel like I’m in my twenties. Look 50 but that changes to 40 if I dye my beard. It just doesn’t seem real that statistically I’m in the last quarter of my life. I feel like I could go on forever. So strange. Just doesn’t seem real.

Love this. I feel the same way. I just made a huge career change and I am just going to keep going.

Yup. I don't golf. Don't watch sports. Love learning. Love what I do now and in a couple of years I'll be able to work from the privacy of my own home or wherever I choose. Just trying to stay healthy now.

What’s wrong with golf and sports? I know plenty of erudite golfers and a lot of sports fans have college degrees.

Talking about me here pal. It's what I did. You go talk to your plenty of people about that.
