Hey, I just turned 47 as well. Last month. And I think it just gets BETTER. I may not learn as easily, but I learn now a lot SMARTER than I used to. And, I already know how I learn, and don't have to figure that out as well as the material. Also, the very ACT of learning new things means so much more to me. I JUST started on guitar last month (guess what my b-day present to myself was? :) ) and at 20, it would have been no big deal. But at 47, I constantly think "wow! I'm learning something completely NEW at my age!" So....hurray for us old farts!! (uh oh...is it legal to say "fart" on here? :) )
