Default Looking too young?

So last week at the local deli I got carded for a 6 oz can of Bud, and today someone asked what school I attend (I graduated in '83). This is embarrassing, and I know many wish they have this problem...just a heads up when you see me at spring fling - I really am Vintage!
But seriously, I'm about to get my third interview w/ a large firm for a senior position and looking like a student doesn't help.

Okay, Dex -- stop bragging!!! If somebody carded me, I'd probably jump over the counter and them to death!!! J/k -- [but it must be just AWFUL to look so young!!!] You and Bluerooster can both sit at the little table with Matrix.

Not 'Braggin'', can be a problem:
When my wife was a Dean, rumors would start about Dean H and that student...
and going into a job meeting looking young and inexperienced (trust me w/ your multi-million dollar project, I really do know what I'm doing..)

Wow...thats flattering I'd say. I'm 26 myself, and don't look a day over 18. Many people often comment on how young I look. At this rate, I'm not overly concerned about aging; at 50, I'll still look 35 and I have no qualms with that!

I'd like to be able to say I'm only 50, but alas I'll never see 50 again . . .

My hair started turning grey when I was in my late teens. By my late 20s it was mixed and by my 30s there was no more color left at all. Now in my 50s, its no longer grey, its all white. I've never had a problem with people thinking I'm younger. Grey hair looks old.
