So what! It is just a number. What can you do about it? Nothing!!! 20, 30 and 40 bothered me more, although 60 will suck. I turned 50 a week ago, got my motorcycle permit Friday, something I promised myself at 40. Too many obligations back then, my 2 sons very young at the time. Now one is 21, the other just about 18. My wife and I re-discovered clubs and bars again, and go out every weekend. Many band take pic's and post them on their sites, we're all over a lot of them. It's great and shows you still know how to party. I share them with my "old" friends at work every Monday. I know deep down they're jealous.
As far as kids, well my oldest is out of school, working, but at home Still, a good person. My youngest just put a twist in my life I never saw coming. Him and his band friends put a demo together, and who would have thought, but a label picked it up. In one month they start a tour of the US, at a bunch of clubs, promoting themselves. I'm not sure I like it, but what an opportunity
