Several  years before the dumb terminal showed up, I heard a group of
engineers  discussing how you know you are getting old.  The two repeatable
ones  are: when teenage girls start opening doors for you, and when the
mothers  of teenage girls start looking better than teenage  girls.


I spoke at the San Jose Mini-Convention in 1987. I was just turning 40. I  
mentioned, at the time, that when I was 20, I had no interest in 40 year old 
 women. They were my mother's friends. But, now, in 1987, there were a lot 
of  great looking 40-year-old women. I then added that the 20-year olds 
still looked  as good as they ever did. And that this was the only thing I had 
found inspiring  about getting older, the expanding population of the  
opposite gender. 
 
Almost 25  years later, I am still looking for another "inspiring" thing 
about getting  older.
