When you learn that Connie Nielsen, the Danish actress who starred as Lucilla in the film Gladiator, is 60 next birthday, you are getting old.

When are you going to start looking old Connie?

The oft-told story is that Paul McCartney, always one with an ear for a catchy melody, came up with that tune at age 14.

I hesitate to call anything “timeless,” but McCartney’s songs, many of them, transcend the rock ‘n’ roll era. He has a tremendous gift, and we’re fortunate to have him. Yet he can’t read musical notation.

You know you ain’t a kid anymore when many a 60-year-old woman catches your eye, and not just the sirens of the silver screen, either.

I was left numb, speechless, absolutely unmoored, by the news that an old girlfriend had died at age 71. We hadn’t been involved with each other for nearly a couple decades at that point, but we always knew the other would be picking up the phone should occasion call for it. The last I saw her, a few years prior, she still looked pretty darned yummy to me.
