Old women sometimes refuse to tell their age, but old coots like me are usually proud to have lasted so long. If he joined the navy at 17, and did so in the early 40's, he is well over 80. I'm 73, but except for about ten minutes right after I get up in the morning, I don't feel nearly that old. I'm addicted to coffee, and it sometimes takes that long to pour it into the cup and down the hatch.

It seems like I was about 65 or 66 when I started posting on RinkWorks, but I don't keep track of things like that as well as I used to.
