| First of all, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Hope its a maize & blue, wild & crazy, cake-filled, booze-filled day. Make it a good one. 2nd of all, I'm old enough to be you dad, hahaha!!! Turned 53 last March, wish I was in my 20s again. The difference between 25 & 53, I could wake up with a stiffy at 25, now I wake up with a stiff back | |

| Age is a funny thing perception wise. In my mind I felt the same as I did @23 all of the way until I was 33, when my son was born- when I all of a sudden jumped forward 10 years. I thought various milestones might bother me, 30, 40, 50, but they really didn't. Now 60, I have to admit felt a little different.
I do most of the same things, still have many of the same friends, like the same music, although my taste has become much broader, which is a good thing.
I re-discovered reading about 10 years ago (I once thought having so much required reading was a reason to do less for pleasure, but that was a mistake). I still exercise regularly aerobic and weights. The biggest difference is that its takes longer to bounce back from things ranging from late nights to colds.
Pertinent to this board, the biggest change is that I bounce back faster from tough Michigan losses. I used to be horrible (ask my family), inconsolable, now I'm a lot more philosophical about it.
Having a sense of humor is important just in general and being able to laugh at the inevitable misfortunes is key.
Happy 25th- and enjoy the ride!

| I am the same way.
A couple years ago I was tailgating at Pioneer. Had to get back to the golf course and the Drive In gates were closed. Wasn't going to walk all the way to the corner to get in so I climbed the fence and jumped down.
Wow. I don't think Ill do that again. My buddy said "Dude, we're 50 years old!!!!!" _________________ "What the HELL's going on out here?"

booboo, I'm driving the 8 hours down to Ann Arbor on Friday to go to the Minnesota game Saturday. Definitely a good way to celebrate a quarter century, right?? bummer about your car. I hope you did that sober and if you were drunk I hope you did that running over a buckeye fan. _________________ Sometimes people standing on third base think they hit a triple, but they didn't - Jim Harbaugh

| I have to admit that 25 was a big one for me because I felt like I was a full-grown man by that time, on the downhill side of my 20s. No other bd affected as much until the big 6-0 this year, when suddenly I feel my mortality crashing around me... | |

| Hey, at 25 you can now become a US Senator. Pretty sure that we need some new ones now. Food for thought... _________________ 'eggo denoted me a First ballot Hall of Famer! - sandyeggo_blue wrote:
