It was a very good year

I am a little distressed, on browsing through ebay, to find stuff that is younger than me described as vintage.

Although now I come to think of it, vintage is usually a good thing. Cheese, port, and lots of other things that I just can't think of at the moment, all improve with age. Up to a certain point, that is.

The question is: have I passed that point? Indeed, have I reached it? Perhaps I missed it. That would be bad. Like over-ripe Stilton I would have nothing to look forward to except the dustbin.

This will take some more consideration.
