How old are you?

Tolkien fans seem to come in all shapes and sizes. And ages, as I've learned. I thus hope you don't mind me being curious and asking how old (or young) are you?

One of my students asked me, once, how old I was

I was part of a cadre of educators who worked with lots of different classrooms and many of the students were fascinated by my grey hair.
In reply to that student, I said, "old".
"How old?"
"Really old."
"In numbers, how old?"
"100."
"Oh. *pause as they considered the answer* ... Mrs. Timmins is older than you. She's 101."
haha... I had to laugh because I knew the conversation with her had gone just the same as mine. Only Mrs. Timmins had aimed higher. :-)
When I first started discussing LOTR and the soundtrack online, I was conversing with a lot of young people who always imagined everyone was the same age as they were. I didn't want to mislead them about my age so I took to telling people I was older than book Frodo when he left the Shire to destroy the Ring. That was 10 years ago.
I also would say, "Among many of my online peers, I am considered an elder. Which should not be confused with Eldar."

But i will add to it thus:
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway, old enough yet again to get away with it by crying senility
I am pushing 65.

Age is relative ... it's what you do with each day that matters....
of course by that you can tell I have more grey than black in my hair

Lord! Does that make me the eldest on the site (at least so far)? Of course, my grandkids swear I helped make the dinosaurs extinct!
