Re enactment and age

[Quintius Clavus]

And, Legio III Cyrenaica's Optio - that's me - is 59 going on 60 years old (in 2012) with NO plans to stop reenacting as an active, not retired, soldier in the legion. I've been going gray since my late 30's and well, I don't mind the hair loss - "wearing a helmet all those years". Aging does catch one with new aches and pains, plus reminders that I'm not 40 any longer, but I just put up with them, and so far only very rarely need any "over-the-counter pain killers". 12 miles and 11 Catholic churches will do that wearing medieval armor on a Good Friday in Fall River, MA with temperatures starting in the high 20's, just a few years back.
