May from Amy and Christy

From Amy above and Christy below. As you may know, Amy has signed on to be the co-pilot if something prevents me from filling up the blog. We are not anticipating that anything is going to happen in the near future - but - nobody lasts forever. I wanted to find a co-pilot who was younger than me, which Amy is - and before I knew how old she was, I think I wrote something about her penmanship looked like she was younger than me. 

Recently, fellow exchangers Christy and Amy met up and went to place that I had never heard about and I need to check it out - so - I deduced that they know each other and that Amy had recommended the exchange. And then - Amy wondered if I could tell how old Christy was by her penmanship. My guess is that they are pretty close in age. I doubt that Christy is in her 60s or 70s. If I find out - I'll let you know.

When Amy was in the process of being recruited as a co-pilot, I was looking for someone younger than me (73) and I guessed her age range - based on her penmanship. She was impressed that I was in the ballpark - and that's why she wondered if I could figure out Christy's age range. I'll post my diagnostic and investigative techniques later.

It used to be such a big deal - with women wanting to keep their age a secret. Is that even a thing any more? I don't remember if men were the same way. But now it seems like age isn't such a big deal. Clearly I am at an age where I am not *up* on how things work.

In many ways - it's just getting harder to even guess how old people are. Or maybe that just happens when you are old.
