Not burning down the garage is also a bonus.<\/p>\n<p>I am 32. I don&#8217;t feel old, nor do I ever complain about being old. I like to be in bed early. Ok, not early, but 10-11pm is definitely a fine time to want to go to bed. I work two jobs and have a family so the thought of even semi-regularly staying up until 1pm, 2pm, 4pm etc doesn&#8217;t hold a whole lot of appeal for me. So the question is, why is it that some people consider not wanting to do that getting old? And this isn&#8217;t directed at anyone in particular but just a general question.<\/p>\n<p>To me &#8220;getting old&#8221; is when you can no longer do the things you want to do. Not wanting to listen to crap that&#8217;s being put out on the radio now doesn&#8217;t make you old. Wondering why teenagers look like a blind vindictive tasteless monkey dressed them is not getting old. I mean the current younger generation would definitely say that&#8217;s the case, but most of them haven&#8217;t even faced their first major life crisis yet. Getting old is no longer being able to jog or bike as far as you&#8217;d like to anymore. It&#8217;s not having the energy on a low activity day to stay up past 8-9pm. It&#8217;s going to the movies and automatically being given the senior ticket price. (I kid, I kid&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p>So cooking (and eating) ribs and burgers at 2pm in the morning definitely livens up the occasion and makes for some stories. Fortunately not falling-in-the-fire-pit type of stories, but stories nonetheless. Still, if you see it&#8217;s 10-11pm at night and you find yourself saying &#8220;I really have no reason to stay up past now, could get a good sleep and have a productive day tomorrow,&#8221; that doesn&#8217;t make you old. It just makes you smart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ribs at one in the morning actually taste quite delicious. Not burning down the garage is also a bonus.
