This is a decade year for me.
Last night I was watching “Golden Girls” with my wife (a favorite to fall asleep to). I realized they were in their 50s when the show started.
My reaction: “GOLDEN Girls??? They should have called it MIDDLE AGED Girls!”
My friend said it best: everyone else gets old. We don’t.
The fact we hear music on the radio from 35-40 years ago and it is considered contemporary seems to help with the “suspended in time” feeling.
No fifty is the beginning of old.
