I don't know how old middle aged is! If you think a lifespan is 80 years, I guess it's 40-60 (if 0-20=youth, 20-40=young adult, 40-60=middle aged, 60-80=old). If you think people are going to be living to 100, I guess it's 50-75. So somewhere in there.

Let's see. Love the Susan Boyle story, hate Patti Lupone and Bernadette Peters, hated Les Mis for a long time because one of my college roommates played it constantly senior year, but eventually fell in love and even got a hold of a recording in the original French.
Most importantly, Happy Birthday to beth b!

Sorry, Burrell. You know middle aged is the new young, right?? (Anyway, in truth, in my head only 50s are middle aged, but I don't think that makes sense, so....)
Oh, megan, I'm so glad you're here. I just saw an apartment listing that said the place has a "unique French style bathroom arrangement." There were no pictures. Any ideas??

It probably means a bathroom like the house I just moved from, where the toilet is in a separate room, i.e., a water closet.

Is that so unusual? I know people suck in their use of "unique," but still.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't know how old middle aged is!
Hey, you introduced the term, not me. I was just wondering how old (or not) said Mexican gentleman might be.

It's okay, Jesse. I'm fine with being middle aged, I just worry sometimes about when that midlife crisis is going to hit.
Any ideas??
No doubt someone has already said it, but a bidet?

Our wings are not tired.
Sondheim is the only context where I like Bernadette Peters. For realz.
Happy Birthday to Beth!!!!
I got to see Megan's dad's program from Kezar and it was way cool.
