Anyone feeling old?

If so, this might help. Shows how old Star Trek and Star Wars actors were in each film.

If I want to feel old, I can just talk to my last boss, who is 20 years younger than I. (people sometimes mistake her for my daughter)
To her, the Cold war was something the history teacher went on about, James Bond movies don't make sense, and basically she was born 3 years after I graduated High School. Everything I grew up with is "old school" or "classic" or just plain "old." Never "vintage", just "old".

I prefer the terms "experienced" or "previously lived."

I just hope that, when I am William Shatner's age, I am as mentally sharp as he clearly still is.

I often feel old. Recently at a gamer store I heard some kids saying they never played that old style DnD they were talking about 3E. I sometimes get a shock when I realize my son is now in his thirties I still think of him as being a young adult.

A couple of years ago, a girl in my band (who at that point was selecting her university) happened to mention that her parents are actually a year younger than I am. I think that was the first time I truly felt old.

I always say I feel old because I remember before there was an internet.

I am 51 and have been through a major medical trauma. Therefore I have the right to call myself old! Even though I was only 3 when Star Trek came out.
