I don't know hot to "feel" the age, Oly. Physically it is obvious I have slowed down. If I compare myself to other people my age, though. I am quite ok. I am 5'8" and 165 (meaning I have no overweight problem), I have ALL my hair (though gray), I am still EXTREMELY HANDSOME (hahahahaaha); no, really, I feel ok in comparison to other people my age, and I am still able to do the things I like to do, though of course I cannot outrun my 30-year old buddies when hunting (well, not even Luis, who is my age...never been able to outrun him...:-). Life has hit me the usual blows plus some unusual ones (Sofía's condition), but so far I have always managed to bounce back (as the saying goes, it doesn't matter how many times you are knocked down, but how many times you stand up again). I have a good family (only wished it was a little larger; now at 50 I wish I would have had more kids than 2) and a few friends, not many (because I am not the simplest and softest guy on the block), but the few I have, true and loyal. I am healthy, I have dogos, I can hunt and do trips with my ATV. I continue enjoying reading books...
Rambling a bit. I guess I honestly don't know how am I supposed to feel....it's the first time I've been 50....
