I guess it is official. I am old. It is past 7 PM and there is nothing I would rather do than go to bed. I don't want to hear rock 'n roll music. I don't want to hear socially conscious folk music. I want to sleep. Kitty may sleep with me if she wants to. Right now she is guarding the speakers I am working on. She is asleep. I got some work done on the frames today. I taught some good piano and guitar lessons today. I will kiss a pretty French girl tomorrow. Right now I want rest. How do you know that you are old?

That last Que is easy, you know when you're old when you try to do what you used to do and end up outta breath then the next day you have muscle pain where you didn't know you had muscles.

Oh my, I hope you can still climb fences but of course not at the rate you did as a young man.

When did you get up this morning? That could have something to do with your being tired.

I like being outside, but I don't care much for being inside away from home.

That would be a bit early even for me. But I will say I am not the night owl I once was. I think you have me by a few years though. I am 50. As for music, just spin my stuff for a while. The wife plans to go shopping today and I fear I may need the money. lol

Do you make money even on YouTube? That's where I do most of my music viewing.

@porwest Do you have a "most watched" song, or one that has brought in the most revenues? My friends and I joke that "there's tens of dollars to be made playing music!"

@TheHorse My YouTube channel itself makes no money. But the published songs do through royalties since the "publisher" technically owns the distribution rights. If you watch my "Journey" video, for example, I get nothing. But if you watch one of my published songs, I do get paid, but not through YouTube directly.

I never think that I am old. My friends keep saying I am bla bla bla years of age. I don't care. If I think I am young, I feel young and strong. What's your take?

I will never act old. You are as young as you feel.

I know that I am old when I feel tired after doing things that I made all the time in the past without getting tired.

I know I'm old because I have arthritis in every square inch of my body, my hair is gray, and my skin has become larger than my body. lololol Enjoy your Sunday.

If I went to bed at seven pm, I would be up at 2 am. It's 22 minutes to one am here, and I probably won't even take my sleep meds till 2am. I have to get up at 1030 but other than that I dont need to get up at a certian time

It's ok to go to bed early sometimes. The point is to listen to your body--it says it's tired, so go to bed! It doesn't mean you're old, it means you're tired, Pony!!
