Dnvr, your sound like my dad, that is in your attitude about being with 'old people', although he's older than you and definitely a senior! He lives in an apartment building and he's mentioned that he doesn't want to live in one of those buildings for old people. He likes having young people in his building. I can't imagine being that age and being happy with doing those 'old people' activities- like those dumb dance or music therapy classes. My SO told me how his grandmother, when she was living in a retirement home would hide in her room whenever the music therapists or occupational therapists would come around. She wanted to read, not bang a pot with a spoon or make ashtrays out of clay!

I think the generation of people who are now aging are healthier and more into fitness. I see these guys on their bikes who have the physiques of 25 year olds and then you see them close up and they're in their 50s at least!. Sort of like that guy on Seinfeld, Mr Mandlebaum who kept challenging Jerry to lift weights. On the other hand, I also see the people you describe who are in their 30s and look horrible.
