Mid-Life Question
I have a seemingly easy question, unfortunately it has a hundred different answers depending on who you ask. Define old age, middle age, and being young? There are many factors to incorporate, many parameters to include and a pile of personal input which is why there will be so many answers. I ask as a forty-seven-year-old who’s not sure which, if any, bracket I fit in. Here are some of the things I think need consideration in working out the answer.

Mind the Gap
Can there be too large an age gap in a relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend? I ask for personal reasons because I am much older than my girlfriend and although we are happy, it’s our age gap that is brought up most by doubters. Personally, I think the argument over our age difference is as relevant as our height difference or eye colour difference. Though I am a foot taller and our eyes are different, that’s still not important.

In to the Pit
I have attended various concerts over a number of years, from pubs with 30 people through to festivals with over 100,000. Where I want to be and usually get to be is at the very, very front. Often described as the pit, this especially applies to the heavy metal, thrash metal gigs I attend. As I get older and more fragile I have to consider what I do a bit more so here is my survival guide.

Time
Officially time goes forward second by second, minute by minute and hour by hour. There are claims it differs in space and in vacuums, but I am only concerned about here on earth. We have all experienced the vagaries of time and how it moves in the real world. We have also found how the movement of time depends on location, problem, and the relationship with others and how their time flows.

Alzheimer's
I will start writing for this site with a subject that many will worry about. This is losing their memory, losing their mobility, or losing their coordination. I have been caring for people with various disabilities and conditions for a number of years but for the last four years I have been caring for people with varying degrees and types of Alzheimer’s.
