None of them knew what a Gordie Howe hat trick was...

None of them believed I was as old as I am and I will attribute this to my cycling lifestyle (rode my new fg to the pub), a few good genes, and the fact I work hard at staying in shape so I can chase this much younger woman around every chance I get.

Have probably attained dirty old man status already too... :)

Having grown up in Plymouth Ma I was a Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito fan (go Bruins). In those days nobody wore helmets and you'd only see a goalie wearing face protection.

As for age, I still feel like I'm in my 20s. Sometimes I get an ego boost when I'm playing a show with my band... my band mates are in the their late 20s and many people ask if we were all started playing together in college. I'm celebrating my 47th on Sunday.
