When do we start feeling old?

Cancer diagnoses have never made me feel old but lots of other things do.

• Having clothing longer than my co-workers have lived
• Being older than my bosses
• Being older than my doctors by a decade or so
• Referring to young people as the younger generation when discussing clothing styles and tattoo preferences.
• Remembering the good old days when you could get bleacher tickets to the Red Sox to sit on benches for just a couple of bucks.
• Remembering black and white TV with three channels, five ice cream cones for a dollar, movies for a dollar.
• Remembering when computers were for dorks and geeks.

Being told I am too young to have all these ailments does not make me feel old. It makes me appreciate being so young.
