30. Unfortunately, the mirror has never lied...
Some days, things are fine. Other days, things don't seem so good -- your once sharply chiseled features are getting softer, the eye-luggage heads south while the hairline goes north.

On really bad days, the guy in the mirror starts to resemble my father! Yow!
