You youngsters quit complaining. Wait until you're in your 80s. Then you might have a good reason. I just met a lady this morning whose dad took up golf at 75 and played ten years.

More power to him. To each his/her own. As for me, I would rather be lying under the grass, pushing up daisies, than standing on top of it hitting little balls with a big stick

What constitutes old age is situational. In the world of competitive swimming, being 25 years old is being past one's expiration date. From my own experience, I remember a date I had shortly after turning 30. A friend of a friend, set me up on a blind date with a gal not quite 19. I went to a club with her, her friends, and their respective boyfriends. When they thought I was out of earshot. A friend of her asked if she met me while hanging out at a nursing home

66 seems young to this 75-year-old!
I agree! Remember "75 is the new 55!"
Be well! Ed

A long time ago I celebrated one of my birthdays. My wife put the full requisite number of candles on the cake (somewhere between 55-65, don't exactly remember) Anyway, when she started lighting the candles, because they were so crowded on the cake a chain reaction started. In a matter of seconds the cake was merrily ablaze and the flame reached halfway to the dining room ceiling. We never did that again!

growing old beats any other alternative. Anyway you're just getting starting to get old. Great pictures.

I'll be 80 in February. I don't celebrate birthdays. I celebrate every day I wake up on the right side of the grass...

A guy I used to work with always said about golf: "What kind of a game do you hit the ball and then walk?"

Celebrated my 68th Birthday just over a week a ago. Nothing illustrates the sentiment of getting older better than my cake
Growing old is so much better than the alternative...but preparation in advance is needed to enjoy it.
