Ooh I thought of another sign you are getting old. Virtually every professional athelete is younger than you.
There are about four left older than me. Thanks for coming out of retirement to make me feel better Mr. Farve.

I don't necessarily "feel" old, but seeing 5 or 6 grey hairs coming in, I now realize it's on the way.
The moments when I realize my kids are 4 and 7 and could have sworn they were still 2 and 5.
The ultimate happy feeling now is getting carded for alcohol, since I'm 34.

time seems to be flying at this age. i work full time for a law firm and go to school full time as well.

did you go to your 20th hs reunion?
My reunion committee set up a nice website and I got back in touch with several guys I have not seen since school. Made a bunch of different lunch plans. It was nice.
We could put bios in our own section of the website. I claimed to be a former Navy Seal, and Astronaut, and a roadie for Metallica.
That got me a bunch of emails from half of the graduating class.

That and I'm starting to go a little thin on top. Turned 32 last month but I still feel like I'm 18 and drink like I'm 21. Most of my friends are under 26 though, so I think that helps.

I'm sorry and don't mean to offend anyone, but if you are 21, you are NOT old. I'm 19 and still feel like a child, and lovin it.
On the other hand, there is not really anything wrong with getting older. Hell there are benefits to both. www.suddenlysenior.com/13thingsregettingold.html

I realized I was getting older when I couldn't figure out the tech toys my nieces and nephew received for Christmas a couple of Christmases ago. My then 13 y/o niece was like "let me see it uncle".

I'm 38 and IIRC You are only as old as the women you feel. 
J/K - I'm getting old but that doesn't mean chit. IMHO you are getting old when you stop dreaming or feel that the best days of your life are behind you. That is not the case with me. I am at the top of my career, my car collection is pretty damn good and unlike Scot - I don't need the little blue pill!
Btw, Scot - damn you are old.
