    You hear about a movie that you love and realize it was released 20 or 30 years ago.
    8.30pm is too late to start watching a movie (I know a bunch of people older than me that stay up until midnight though).
    Things you used to love have lost all their appeal (rollercoasters)
    Your kids have no idea what most of the electronics you grew up with are
    You're talking to adult friends that tell you that they read books that 'just came out' in middle school and high school
    You're still listening to the same music you were listening 20 years ago and it still feels like it just came out

    I'm 64. 320 days from retirement. Love to hear the youngsters complain.

    I have a complaint. In 320 days this place won’t have your wit anymore.

    .....you are going to a concert this evening at 8pm and you're planning on taking a nap after work so you can stay awake for the whole concert.

    Not a Joke. Leaving work at 2. Taking a nap. Going to see Greta Van Fleet at 8.
