Does this mean that 'middle aged' begins right after 30? I resent that, Sir!
On the other hand, here's Maskelyne on his 29th birthday:
 
"Twenty-nine's Fell Shadow! O, inhospitably final year of any Pretense to
Youth, its Dreams now, how wither'd away... tho' styl'd a Prime, yet bid'st
thou Adieu to the Prime of Life!... There,-- there, in the Stygian Mists of
Futurity, loometh the dread Thirty,-- Transition unspeakable! Prime so
soon fallen, thy Virtue so easily broken, into a Number divisible,-- penetrable!--
by six others!" (Mason & Dixon, p. 118)
 
Tore, 38 (alas!), Aarhus, Denmark
