Ask my 3-year-old granddaughter to point out the other children on the playground, and she will invariably scan the site and select the younger ones. Age is both a fixed number and fluid, as is the way we think about and experience it. At the time of this writing, I am 68. How I feel about it at any given moment depends on whether my bunions hurt, or my knee aches.
