Yeah, every once in a while I have to remind myself you're only a few years older than me. You've got curmudgeonliness beyond your years.

Me, I'm a few months away from 30. I never thought such artificial age delineations would mean anything to me, but I can't ignore the widening gulf between me and teenagers...and more frighteningly, between me and people in their early 20s. So despite (or perhaps because of) the apparent loss of sex appeal with the LoT 'mo crowd, I've been feeling very glad that I finally got brave enough to shave my beard and look 20 again. That's been a self esteem boost that that came as somewhat of a surprise.
