Will be 75 in October. No health issues, still reasonably active. DW, not so much.

I'm 68 (how'd that happen?) and DW is 61, will be 62 in a couple of months.
And yes, I remember nine planets and 48 stars on the flag, black & white TVs and black rotary dial telephones. Long distance phone calls were horribly expensive so the only time they were made was when somebody was born or died, and maybe Christmas.

Just wait until you turn 70! Then you will *really* be wondering how that ever happened.
The first 70 years have been such a wonderful ride. Hoping for another 30 but I will gratefully take whatever years I am given.

Happily retired since 2009, at age 61. Best years of my life by far!

Had to put before 1970, but at 1961, closer to 1960 at 57 years old. DW is 62.
