I'm a year older than you, and I see late 60s early-mid 70s kind of a "sweet spot" in life. Young enough to do 'most anything you want to but old enough to be able to use the "old man" card to get out of something you don't.71 this year. Not much I still can't do.
Reminds me of a story a lady friend told me many years ago about her aunt who saw turning 80 as liberating. If she had company that had overstayed their welcome, she'd pretend to doze off in her chair. Anyone younger and it would be interpreted as rude, but peoples' reaction at her age was "the poor dear, she must be exhausted, we'd better go home".
