I am presently at the annual CASE District VI conference in St. Louis, Missouri. I cannot help but look around and see that the average age of the audience seems to be 30. I feel like 30 in my head and as long as I avoid mirrors can go on in blissful denial but the reality is that I have been teaching at Xavier longer than most of these guys have been around! (34 years).
I do not mind being responsible for educating tomorrow's marketers of higher education. In fact, I love it and that is why I am a tireless volunteer for CASE and other organizations.
I just hope that no one starts calling me "pops." and asks me questions about yesteryear before their was facebook.
I am thinking their may be a market for a guide to bars and nightclubs that cater to 40 and 50 year olds. (soon to be 50 and 60 year olds).
Growing old may be a ......but it beats the alternative!
