This question was inspired by a meme I just saw, and my longtime crush on Brad Pitt, who’s 45 years older than me.

Youngest: my age. Oldest: if it’s someone in as good shape as Brad Pitt, the sky’s the limit.

      Recently I had an operation and was in a semiprivate recovery room with a man who turned out to be 77. I’m 38. While chatting with each other to pass the time, I was on some pretty heavy painkillers. (He refused any pain remediation stronger than Tylenol. He was a veteran and, I suspect based on his reaction to any offerings, had seen friends succumb to addictions.)

      Anyway, despite being drugged, I managed not to say the first two things that came to mind:

      • “Wow, you’re almost exactly double my age!”
      • “Whoa, that’s how old my dad was when he died.”

      All that to lead up to … If you have any pictures to share, I’d love to see the creative works of a 98-year-old!
