Well, indeed it is. As of this writing, I’m 50.  No one ever believes that. And in Korea, where age determines whether people tack on the honorifics for older people or leave them off for younger, asking someone’s age is not uncommon.  Still, I try to take decent care of myself, exercise often and eat well. I’m in better shape than a majority of the 50 year olds that I know.

Of course, when I grow what little scruffy beard I can grow it comes in a little white. I don’t have as much collateral when it comes to guessing my age.

So, when close shaven for my birthday party, I also shave a few years off my looks and again look far younger than my 50 years of age.

I’m off for a night of drinking and possibly singing.  Happy Birthday to me!
