I would guess somewhere between 12 and 14 billion years old.
Seriously though, in my present form, I am 34.

The picture was taken this summer. Do you think I'd be doing that in January??! (You'll see what I mean if Greg ever gets the picture up.) It was taken on the sly (I HATE having my picture taken. It steals my spirit! ) by my ski buddy who is very lucky that I even considered letting him live after he did that! But it's his boat, so...
I now only celebrate ANNIVERSARIES of my 42nd birthday. But thanks for the PARTY and GOOD WISHES. I'm up for those anytime!

OK Zooby!
MRP didn't post his age in here. So, what is the OTHER end of this open-ended 'frame of reference' you've given us to ascertain YOUR (approximate) age? C'mon, you oblique little cuss. Cough it up. You're partially fossilized, too, aren't ya!

Parsons once mentioned his age. He's 47 I believe(could be wrong) but I know he's in his 40's.

You know just what to say, don't you. :)
I stayed inside reading books when I was young, I am soooo glad now. Also, youthful looks runs in my family. Plus don't they say "you're as young as you feel?" Wait, at the moment that would make me 110...

I really figured you for being in the mid-30's tops.
