    At what age did you get "old"?
    Everything seems to point toward retirement planning that includes a club budget. Gawd, I hate delayed gratification!

    Oh crap. If Gen X is gonna live into their 100s, how can any of them afford a lapdance? And how are the rest of us supposed to support the club economy?! There's a crisis coming, people. One way or the other.

    Dr. Phil, you're right, nobody wants to be 90 ... except most 89 year olds.

    Father Time and Death, both undefeated. The good news is, a hot lapdance can make you feel young at any age!

    Cute, DoctorPhil. :) CDC says US life expectancy is about 79, so yes, the average half-way POINT is 39 or 40. The question is, how many years on either side of 40 counts as "middle age"? 5, 10, 15? It's a good bar topic, since there's no clear answer. And aren't we all careening toward the grave, from the moment of birth? :)

    P.S.: When I say around 50, I'm also thinking of athletic performance limits. At 49 I was still taking on new physical challenges. At 51 I was happy to get out of bed without any major aches. Even in golf, which isn't the most physically demanding of sports, there's a senior tour -- open to players 50 and older. It seems to be a significant 'break point', punctuating the more gentle/subtle changes in the decades before and after.

    As a middle aged guy who closely observes his friends and colleagues, I think a lot of people walk off the most significant cliff (physically speaking) in their late 40s or early 50s. It can be earlier depending on genetics and lifestyle factors ("hard miles"), but even those who eat right, exercise, work indoors, etc. start to look and feel significantly older around 50. A few Hollywood actors can continue to paste it together (at least on camera and with body doubles and optimal lighting and editing) into their 50s, but it's tough. So as Papi_Chulo said, take good care of yourself and make the most of every day and year. Tomorrow is promised to nobody; but with a little luck, these days you can lead an active and fun life into your 70s and beyond.
