   @Prof_Trixie This is *exactly* what I do in my social circles (and I, too, am 45). It's particularly something I enjoy in my roller derby league, since I've been involved in the sport since 2007 and roller derby today is like baseball at the turn of the 20th century...just starting to stabilize after a wild era of evolution. The younger people crave the history I hold in my head and I have the means to help them with things. It's...nice.

     Wow..45.

     I mean, I don't think it's old by any stretch but observing culture, language, science and tech evolve in real time is wild. Sometimes it happens so slowly you don't notice and suddenly it's a different world.

     I'm at an age where I've amassed endless stories and cool stuff to give away because it's been taking up space for years. I can now be that person that my older friends were to me when I was a young and curious mutant. I'm grateful for that guidance and hope to pass it on.
