42 today, 42 today....

Finally I am starting to feel old and my body is starting to fail me. But I know this state of affairs will not last, at least not mentally.

I was just trying to plot my mental age, which I think varies like a sine wave, against my advancing physical, or rather chronological age. For example, when I was 15 or so, my outlook was much like that of a stereotypical 45 year old - crusty and nasty and conservative. When I was about 27, I felt practically 16, full of juice and beans! At 42, I feel I have the outlook of a 34 year old, when I'm 50 I'll feel 50, and then hopefully a long slide into my third childhood and irreversible senility by age 73 or so.

Unfortunately, I can't get Excel to plot this sort of thing for me, so you will just have to imagine the chart....

Thanks! I am amazed someone recognized my work, considering the number of pins I have handed out over the last few years (a few hundred) compared to the number of San Franciscans who have been to BM (many thousands).

I bought a piece of soapstone last week, and am going to try cutting/engraving it to make flat thin castings with greater detail. Thinking of doing the same thing with slate, if you have ever seen old 19th century German-made flat tin soldiers you see they are thinner than a dime but have amazing detail: slate molds.
