Guess how old you are? Old.

50.

That's right. The Great One turned 50 today.

Maybe you were already aware of that. But have you really stopped to think what Gretzky hitting the half-century mark means in the big picture of your life?

We remember watching Gretzky in his prime while we were very, very young. And now we're oh-so-old.

In any event, we're not trying to make your head bleed. We'll save the next crisis for a little over two years from now.
