Don't worry, the way things are developing, we will all hit centuries.<br /><br />I was never ambitious so, I just floated along and as I look back, I believe that I had a grand time.

I'll be hitting 50 in a year and a half and that used to sound impossibly old to me. Now? I feel like I'm in my prime. I have every confidence that at 64, I won't be knitting.
