"Are you a young 68 and 72 or an old 68 and 72?"
Does a young 80 overlap an old 68/72 or a young 68/72? I would like to think here in TV the more appropriate question would be trying to find a village that has people who share your interests and energy levels. Age bias will only assure that you live in a village with people your age. Don't cheat yourself out of the more abundant options available sans the age criteria. btk |

Trapped inside of everyone of us that lives here in The Villages, the young-old and the old-old, is a 17 year old still alive and well and that 17 year old may still have a bit of an attitude about being summarily dismissed because of age. And I love this line.. Age and treachery will beat youth and exuberance at every turn.

I asked my mother who was in her nineties to call my best friends sick mother to cheer her up.
She complained to me and asked why I did I bother to ask to call and that she couldn't hear what she was saying. She then asked how old she was and I replied , she is 78. She said, "Oh, she's just a kid". Age is in the eye of the beholder.

Well, I know a young 100 year old man who is more active than most anyone I know. It isn't an insult. It is an observation. I'm 51 and I'm not as active as most of my friends. My friend shoots pool, plays boche, walks daily, attends Mass, sings karaoke, lol.
I know some people in their early-70s who aren't as active. It isn't an insult. The do the best they can do and enjoy themselves. I hope they enjoy themselves. If they don't, it isn't anyone's fault but their own. I know people in their 70s who travel and explore the world. Some are younger than others. |

I was transferred when our son was about the same age. It was not The Villages but he was still looking for friends in a new location. He took a few classes at the local jr college and met some friends. He also worked at the YMCA Camp and latchkey program. Most of the counselors were his age. He made alot of good friends at the YMCA. Don't know if there is anything like that in the surrounding area but might be an idea. Wish you the best of luck. Also, when we were The Villages earlier this year there was a young man that came to "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader". I think he had as much fun as we did.
