Middle Age

While relaxing at a nice hotel in Mountain View, California, I read in USA Today that the median age in the United States is now 37.9 years old.

It so happens that I'm 37.9 years old! This means I am precisely the "middle age."

Does this mean that when I turn 38 I am over the hill, my father-in-law was happy to ask.

The way I look at it, no. You see, the story in USA Today pointed out that the median age has risen to 37.9. I can only assume it will continue to rise incrementally, leaving me on the median indefinitely.

You see, I'm not growing older -- I'm "living on the edge."
