I find it humorous when people tell me things like, "You're still young," and "Back when I was your age," and "You look like a young George Clooney**."

In fact, many of the people I hear this stuff from aren't much older than I am now. I am surrounded by friends of different generations, and the age gaps don't always occur to me. Nor should they. Once you settle into any environment, you become a part of the larger picture, and that's how I usually see myself. But every once in a while I get a comment about my apparent youth, and it doesn't make me feel young. Quite the opposite, if only because I begin thinking about it at all.
