Today at our Masters practice I mentioned that Dennis Baker, who recently aged up into my age group, trains 10K/day. A teammate of mine, a 31 year old woman, remarked, "That's a lot of yardage for someone your age."

What a drag...
Even though this was 6 years ago, it shows the perspective of the kids. Back in 2000, at the age of 33, I had the opportunity to work out with the high school swim team. The kids accepted me as the older guy in lane 5. One day my age came up in conversation - One of the kids said "Wow, you really are old. I thought you were like 19 or something."
Our high school's pool had a fire so the girls are swimming in the outdoor community pool until it is repaired. Yesterday I asked if I could join them. I found out that I am older than the head coach's father. that is very frightening!

...and then today, by some strange coincidence, I receive in the mail a personalized invitation to join AARP (seriously), even though I'm "only" 48.
Craig,
I'm also 48. My oldest brother gives us membership to AArP when we turn 50 for a present. I told him not to do it with me.

AARP I think did a terrible thing with the Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid reorganization. No real solution just puhing it off from the state to the federal government.
