Dear Jeremy: What! You are only 25 and so smart! I couldn't believe what I was reading, your columns sound so clever and full of wisdom, and now I find out you are just a kid, what a surprise!

I am not being sarcastic, I really was surprised, and think how wonderful it must be to just be 25, you are not expected to be grown until you are 30, did you not know that?

At 30, it is, "Oh, God, I have to grow up now!" (It is not so bad, really.) At 40, small slide into "what is it all about?" time. (Deep, moody, "why am I here?" and growing -- or buy a sports car.) At 50, just cry a lot. At 60, I feel like I am twenty, my body refuses to think so, but hey, there are still adventures out there. Can't go further than that, but have a suspicion that life can still be fun.

The best part, Jeremy, is when you are sixty, you will still feel 19 in your heart, that does not ever change!

p>Get out there and enjoy being 25, it could be worse! Happy Birthday,
