59.5

As of November 3 I was 59 1/2 years old which means I could take distributions from my 401K without penalty. I don't intend to and am not in a financial position to retire, but it is strange to cross one of the thresholds to "old age". So, I went off to the gym and pumped some iron. By the time I am 60 I may look like those pictures of Charles Atlas that I used to see in the back of comic books when I was skinny boy being picked on by bullies.
