I don't feel old (in fact, I'm probably in the best shape I've ever been in), but I do feel more mature than when I first posted here or even since Miriel and I started dating. For me, it has all been good changes. I've become more compassionate, more understanding, and more confident. I'm sure in a few years I'll turn the corner and become some kind of cranky old man, but hey, may as well enjoy youth while it lasts!

Oh, I'm also one of those guys who gets more handsome with age. At least my wife thinks so.
