Re: How old are you?
We should keep in mind that the correct answer to the OP question is, "As young as I'll ever be!"

2014-06-21 — since yesterday, I’m as old now as the last century was when I was born (is that an easy one? I’m mathematically challenged, sort of) … anyway, happens only once in a lifetime, if at all, so I guess I can call me a lucky guy 
I appreciate being here with y’all.

First day of spring. So once you were a spring chicken. Now you are a ....
Oops! Better stay civil.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

I'm 57. I feel like I'm in my 40's again. The medical problems alluded to in the previous several years' posts are mostly cured - or at least held at bay.
So I'll skip the comments about dodging my death. Instead, I'll comment about ones of the other things that us old folks experience a lot: other peoples' deaths.
If it doesn't happen to you, you will be around when it happens to others. So learn a bit about wills, estates, trusts, etc. And get everything in writing. No matter how much someone assures you that the paperwork is properly done, if you may be a beneficiary, ask for a copy to be sure that it is done right.
Make sure that you have copies of keys ( houses, safety deposit boxes, cars, safes, etc )
Get to know the neighbors of your relatives.
Talk to other beneficiaries so that you don't find yourselves fighting over sentimental possesions at vulnerable moments. Decide it all beforehand.
And make sure that you know who has medical power of attorney.
Dang, this post is getting grim...so on to the lighter side:
My dearest wife bought me a Dell XPS for my birthday, with Ubuntu factory loaded, backlit keyboard, touchscreen, extra memory, all of the goodies.
She made brownies ( gluten free! )
She told me to not make plans for this weekend.

Re: How old are you?
I turned 34 today, and my KGS account is four stones stronger than it was at this time last year. It's been a good year for go.
