Great topic.

I think it's more about lifestage than age. I also think it has a lot to do with your activity level.

After Easter, I mentioned to my kids that Pop-Pop was looking a little old to me (he's 79).

My youngest son, said, "He IS old. What do you mean?"

He spoke the truth and I was surprised by it.

So I guess I think of old as no longer being able to get around like you once did, slowing down, no longer driving, looking hunched and no longer capable of picking up your pace if you had to. I guess I'm thinking more of the physical aspects.
