Age, I found, depends on where you are. In Florida, 50-year olds are the babies. Some 90-year olds still play tennis, jog the beach, swim in the Gulf. Those who "dodder" are accepted for themselves. Me — I'm barely approaching middle age.
This morning I looked in the mirror to find my old (young) self. Florida's fountain of youth had worked its magic.
