I'm not really sure when being "young" ends. I myself am 31 (going on 32 come December) -- but only rarely do I act like it, and I certainly don't feel like it. I suppose once I hit 40 I'll maybe have to admit I've entered middle age, but who knows?

For someone to be "old", I used to think that one would have to be *at least* 60 to qualify. However, my own father is now 60 himself, and I definitely don't think of him as being old -- aside from being diagnosed with Type II diabetes last year, he's in as good a shape as he's ever been, and he still has pretty much the same lifestyle as he did 25 years ago. So I guess I don't really have a strict cut-off line there, either.

Not that it really matters to me anyway. As Hosa put it, age is more a state of mind than anything else. You're really only as young/old as you feel.
