Do you act your age?

No. But then again, yes. Well, maybe... Oh, I don't know---what age are you supposed to act when you're ageless? :)
Of Some Renown
For some time now, I have
lived anonymously. No one
appears to think it odd.
They think the old are,
well, what they seem. Yet
see that great egret
at the marsh's edge, solitary,
still? Mere pretense
that stillness. His silence is
a lie. In his own pond he is
of some renown, a stalker,
a catcher of fish. Watch him.

Very nice bird, I saw lots of them in Florida this year. It's wonderful to know they've made such a comeback.
yikes… act my age and what age am I suppose to act?
I think I have some talent because I 'act' like myself
rather than try to fool you into thinking I'm some one
acting out… eee gads..
They are a beautiful bird, aren't they, Sandi? I love to watch them fishing—their patience, their focus inspires me no end.
Jeanne, exactly. When I'm being me I don't have to act. I kind of like that about the Ageless designation we can opt for on the profile page. Free to just be who I am, and fewer expectations from others about how I'm supposed to act…
