37

[Alex]

The women in my family live a long time. I think the average age at death for my relatively close male ancestors is in the early 50s (my dad dad at 47, my mom's dad died around 40, both of cancer). So I figure I have about 20 years left to me -- though my paternal grandfather is still going strong at 72 -- I expect to continue being boring right up until the end.

I had no problem with my 20s, enjoyed them quite a bit. So far I am enjoying my 30s and see no reason that will change. Of course, my threshold of contentment is remarkably low compared to most people. I also enjoyed high school without being part of any crowd.

How old are you? I was obviously really off in my perception of your age.

33.

But nobody has ever guessed my age correctly (like I said I'm finally starting to catch up to what they guess). When I got my first corporate job at Wells Fargo I was 23 years old. One day it came up that people were guessing my age. The average guess back then was around 32. Now it tends to be in the late 30s.
