I hear ya. I got my usual strenuous workout today, when I drove the 16 miles to the poker room and back (while eating a Big Mac)...

And I hear you, Smorg. The death of Jim Fixx convinced the world not only that running a marathon couldn't prevent CAD but that running could result in sudden death. It was 1984 when Fixx died while running and from that day on I haven't run a step.

Come to think of it, I didn't run before 1984 either. Hummmmm, maybe 6'5" and 290Lbs. is a good thing????
 
Maybe I'm Still A Growing Boy

I weigh more than that, but I'm short for my weight.

Getting Old vs Growing Up

Some view growing up as reaching maturity levels. Others view it as relinquishing their youth. While I find I enjoy the more mature crowd, I surely do not see many who have given up their youth. And why should we?

You are only as old as you feel.


How do I feel?
 
Turned 46 in February...

I just got to the downhill half of my forties. It is kind of hard to believe I have been playing pool for almost thirty years now. Started getting serious about playing when I turned seventeen and decided to give myself a pool table as a graduation present from high school. I still can't believe I am now going to be getting into the age range my friends and I used to think of as really old! I no longer think that but way too often feel like I must be about 85.
 
Gregory, you're the same age as me down to the month. I got hit with a great line from a (much) younger team mate this week - "If you've been playing for over 27 years, shouldn't you be a lot better by now?" :eek:
 
I'm almost 23. Ahhhhhhh I wish I was a pup again but one morning you wake up and realize you're not a kid anymore:D
 
Birthdays ......

I try not to count birthdays anymore, since I saw an old movie called "Shangri-la" (1930's) where an old Monk tells a young Englishman that "Every time you count a birthday, you build another fence around your mind" ... That sounded so profound to me that I am trying not to worry so much about how old I am, rather how much I am enjoying the time I have left ... OnePocket and Str8Pool are taking up a great deal of that time ...

BTW - I was 65 last time I counted ...

You had a good reason NOT to run before 1984 you were too busy driving that Hemi Cuda !:D
 
I'm 24 years old.
Big surprise for me to see so many old players here. That's good because I can get a lot of info from the experienced players.
 
26 myself, although I've discovered that everyone I meet between the ages of 28 and 35 seems to judge me as being exactly the same age as they are. People I play pool with who are in their later 20's and 30's are always surprised that I'm only 26. I think it's the beard that does it.

19 years old, and still learning ;)

I thought I was getting old when I hit 19 a few months ago. My respect for the older shooters on this forum :cool:
 
My baby brother just turned 50 today...ouch. I'm 53. This is a very special age for me: I am the same age as the year I was born...53.

Yes, I remember the Beatles! The 1st 3 albums I ever bought (bought together) were: Jimi Hendrix - "Are You Experienced"; Cream - "Disraeli Gears"; and Strawberry Alarm Clock - "Incense & Peppermints". 2 out of three isn't bad :D. They all had cool covers. I miss albums :(.
