Eighty-one is old, shockingly old. I'm shocked myself when I think about it. I don't feel old, and over and over I wonder how I got to be eighty-one. I always used to be the youngest kid-in my classes, on my summer camp baseball team, on the tennis team-and now suddenly I'm the oldest person anywhere I go-restaurants, movies, professional conferences. I can't get used to it.
