What’s so funny about this is that when I was a kid in the 1960’s I was a real science fiction buff. I was so excited that the average lifespan of an american would mean I would live into the “21st century” as if on 1/1/2000 some switch would be pulled and we’d be “in the future”.

But I was also depressed because I’d be so old I’d not be able to appreciate it. :-D

Agree. At 66, with my joints falling apart, I keep thinking ‘I’m only 66!’. I guess our generation has been conditioned to think we aren’t allowed to get old. When I was young, 66 WAS old. I sure don’t feel old, except when I wake up in the morning and it takes me several minutes of walking before the pain goes away.
