....she makes it sound like I am 16 and living in the state called denial.

However, at this time my physical age is fast approaching Jack Benny's perpetual birthday age - and my body resides currently in Arizona. Bless her heart... whenever she posts about my "youth" she makes me feel like a kid again.

It's all relative I guess. In my mind I feel both very old and simultaneously very young.

Lindy, apparently, despises my political views and it bothers her all the moreso because I am very open to most things and don't fit in the mainstream religious right. The dichotomy of me being a "new age"* conservative who likes Bush set's her off worse than if I were one of Jerry Falwell's or Tammy Faye Baker's speechwriters.

I do forgive her for her sins though,

PS
You know you're "old" when you start to find yourself using the phrase "bless your heart" ;-)

*The phrase "new age" was sort of cool in the seventies but now it just reeks of hippies and cliches. Perhaps it can be replaced by "21st century".
