When I was 20 years old I thought;
- 30 was old
- 40 was ancient
- over 50, well so long, nice knowing you
Now that I’m over 50 my attitude has changed since my ‘younger days’ .
Age is something that I don’t often think about and it is no barrier to maintaining or starting a new hobby as long as I stay healthy.
In my day (gee, I’m sounding old) I’ve met many young old people and old young people.
I’d rather stay young old than just give up and wait until I keel over.
And to help me do that I look for inspiration from young old people who are engaged and enjoy life, regardless of their age.
Here’s a young old person that inspires me.
It’s Larry Storch (F Troop – 60’s hit tv series) doing standup comedy at the old young age of 85.

Those of us who loved the sixties…are… in our sixties.
Biological age, or chronological age? We’re with you, we’ll stay young old.
Thanks, Chris!

Terrific, that’s three of us already. We need more of us young old people. Perhaps we could start a world wide movement. The Y.O.P’s :)
Yep… speaking as someone who is 50 on Wednesday, I would like to say that as you get older, your blog timing gets more and more perfect!
Thanks Neil and happy 50th birthday on Wednesday.
