The last few months, talking on the phone with realtors, other professionals, even my auto body shop...
I keep getting called 'sir'
Not sure if that's a good thing or not...but it's starting to creep me out. Not like I'm a pubescent teenager that went through a voice change...

And some in girls with ankles fine,
But my delight, yes, always mine,
Is to dance with Jak o' the Shadows.

It's the massive responsibility that comes from being an ACF mod. You just exude it now, people can just... tell.

People are hard wired to be followers and sheep, perhaps your exuding a I have my profanity together / boss persona. I was a boss at 18, I'm 21 now and even adults twice my age call me sir when I go into authority mode. It's all about presence and respect.

Well that one is easy to explain, golf is the ultimate in old people games because of its very low physical requirements. If you are so old and out of shape that you need "virtual" golf, well you get a sir gramps.
Damn, how freaking old are you, 70?
