I was 9 years old.
Thanks! I'm the "old man" at work and most other places, nice to see someone beat me at this for a change...

Congratulations, good to remember.

The day you graduated I was 21 years old and had been married for 9 months and 6 days. Still married to the same gal.

Geometry comes in handy for construction and carpentry. Calculus and Algebra. Not so much. I live on Canadian border and still don’t need to know the metric system.

Can I assume her name is Sophie? I hope you two have been as happy as my only true wife and I were.

My girlfriend then finally became my wife on March 5, 1988 after being separated from her for 25 years In my life I was legally married to three women, but I only had one wife! And she was the one. Her name is Barbara Ann. We had the most wonderful 32 years together until I lost her on Sept. 13, 2019 to a combination of cancer and sepsis.

I was in the dermatologist's office today getting more stuff cut off me. He said, "we usually don't see this until people are in their sixties." Me: Heavy sigh. My age is on the chart.
