Prepares to retrace route he took in 1967 from CA to KY. Plans to carry
laptop and teach an online course to KY students.

Sounds like a pretty good trip for an older guy.

Who said 61 is old? I've revised my opinion on that point.

61 is not an "older guy". When I was 30 it was an older guy, but now I
would like to think it is still young. Get that "OLDER" out of there
unless you are talking about someone who is 85 or 90. Cher is 60. I
hear she going to pose nude to celebrate. I am hoping 60 becomes the
new 40. Anyway, if he did it in 1967, he can do it again now. Good
Luck to him.

"older" is a relative statement, I am 32 so 61 is "older", I am not saying
the he is old, just that he is older than me! Didn't mean to offend anyone.
Old would be in the late 70's or beyond!

I am 65, and definitely NOT "older."

And, I bet when I am 85, I will not be "older" either!

Words like "older," "elderly," "younger," etc., are not very accurate
or descriptive words. I much prefer simply making a statement such as

"A 23 year old man"

or

a "75 year old woman"

or simply leave "age" out of the entire equation.

Wait until you hit 40.....no age will be considered "OLD". ;-)
