Old age
#14
RE: Old age
I voted old is much the same as young really. My interests and hobbies haven't changed much. I might be what sometimes is referred as a kidult. Was it the TV I watched as a kid that stressed imagination? Was it the movies I grew up on in the 70's and 80's? Is it just something built in me? I couldn't tell you. But I still enjoy comics, cartoons, video games, all things remote controlled, and that hasn't changed much from ever since I was 15 or so. But now at least I can afford to buy the toys I want. Until 2 years ago I had a pinball machine in my living room and if it wasn't for their size I'd buy a new one in a heartbeat.

The only real drawback about getting older to me at least is that some wear and tear is creeping into my body. Lifting 220lbs robots isn't as straightforward as it used to be. So now I lift smarter instead of harder.
Best regards,
Leo van Miert
