> 70 is old. <

Gotta disagree. My grandmother once said that “old” is always 10 years older than you are. So if you’re 70, you’re not old. 80 is old.

Grandmother got a lot of things right. I think this is one of them.

Grandmas are often correct.

And I understand her perspective.

However the seventies are well into the 4th quarter. And old defines the 4th quarter.

Old does not mean unable. My gym has quite a few very able older men and women. Heck I work out one and a half hours.

And old has dignity.

I have to say, your grandma is a wise woman.
