[QUOTE="Fr_Tom, post: 319612, member: 3139"] I feel pretty spry when I am not looking for my bifocals or getting my knees limber in the morning. Working with kids at school or in church keeps me on my toes. I suspect any time I am learning something, it reminds me that I am a perpetual student and don't know everything. Once I stop growing intellectually, spiritually, or emotionally and atrophy starts taking its toll, I think I WILL be old regardless of the calendar. I remember when I first started teaching, and I would look at the people on the faculty who had been at it 30+ years. I have to say I did not find many good role models. I promised myself I would not be "that guy" and retire before I started teaching the same lessons year after year from the doomsday notebook with the yellowed pages. [/QUOTE]
