I'm pushing 58, and 60 don't look like anything more than another birthday to get teased over. I took up graphite rod building last year, and built 10 rods that I'm darn proud of. I say don't waste any more time. Go start your shopping list, say goodbye to spouse, children and close friends, because you are embarking on a long journey to the Dark Side. Some are able to slip in and out at times to be part of society, but for most it's a long, consuming adventure. Bon Voyage
