How sad is it that my new touchstone for how old I am is "am I too old to audition for Reality tv?"

I guess that's all you get after you've passed the driving, voting & drinking ages. I am currently too old for Real World (which I've actually never seen) and American Idol. I am still in the range for The Apprentice (blah) and The Amazing Race (yay!)

I will not even deem things like The Bachelor & Fear Factor with the respect of checking the rules.

I'm way past that one, and I'm too old to donate eggs, and I'll soon be too old to apply to be an astronaut. If I remember the chart right, I'm almost at the turnover point (late thirties? forty?) where staying on the pill is more likely to kill me than a pregnancy is.

There aren't a whole lot of positive milestones along the way until maybe senior discounts at Denny's or qualifying for Medicare.

Oooh...didn't think about the astronaut one.

It's continually odd to me that I realize I am, or am about to be too old for things I just assumed as a child that I'd someday do. Like being an astronaut, or a model, or writing my first bestselling novel while still under 30. Odd.
