In reply to:
Actually my girlfriend called me an old fart yesterday when I told her I bought a metal detector. She said "Thats an old fart toy".
I think I was born an old fart, and my body is just now
starting to catch up. I owned a metal detector when I was 13 years old. Loved it.
I've often looked at youngsters (regardless of their actual age) and thought "grow up". You know those PSA commercials on TV for the arts. The one where the boy takes the stick from the dog and puts it in the trash. There's a little bit of me in that kid.
I know what you mean though about being a 19 year old in a 59 year old body. I'm "only" 31, but I swear nothing seems much different then when I was 20 or so. (Well, my feet hurt like a bi&*h when I wake up, and my hair is falling out...but other than that...)
OK...I'm rambling now. See? I told you I was an old fart.
