Nothing wrong with being 40-ish. (Or 50-ish, 60-ish, 70-ish... 134-ish!)

Its not that I hate my age (I love being 40), it’s more that I’m a 13 year old trapped in a man’s body, and calling me ‘Sir’ is an insult to my general immaturity 😃 I taught school for 25 years, and encounter former students regularly. Some insist on calling me "Mr. Blanton" still; I respond by telling them when you say that, I'm looking over my shoulder to see if my father is standing behind me. 😃

No more Mr. Lee.

No more Mr. Lee. Yep. Former high school teacher here, too. It's OK, I tell them, to call me Stephen or Steve...and that at some point they likely called me much worse than that. 😃

I have always taught the “hard” kids, kids with behavior and/or emotional problems. Lots of aggressiveness, tantrums etc. I would tell the bigger ones that Bruce Lee was my uncle and he taught almost everything he knew.

Our actual age, or the age we think of ourselves as? I'm going by the age I look on stage from fifty feet away divided by two.

Gee John my heart is the only thing not screwed up here. In fact it was kind of funny when I was in the ER with the low blood sugar they had the heart rate monitor alarm set to 63 and it kept going off so they ordered an EKG. The tech was laughing because he couldn’t believe they needed to order an EKG because I have a resting heart rate of 60.

I played on my first record in 1969 and bought my first 4 track tape machine in 1972. I have owned and worked in studios ever since. I was pretty young when I started though. This year I will turn 67.

Jeez Tim, I was drafted in 69! Did get to see Jimi at Newport 69 before boot camp. I bought 3 capsules from you a couple of months ago and am more than halfway through building a dozen Tube mics. My wife doesn’t understand why I’m doing it at my age. I just like building stuff, been doing it since I was a kid. I’ll be 71 in a month.

I turn 40 this year. That really f*cked with me for a while. I know my older friends will laugh, but it’s just the first time for me personally that I actually took a moment to reflect and acknowledge that this life is, in fact, a one-way trip and there’s not a damn thing I can do about it.

That "rear view mirror" is a quick and occasional reminder of what lies behind you. Just remember to keep your eyes focused in front so you can enjoy the ride ahead of you.
