How you know you're getting old

When you're looking to make plane reservations for a business trip (and perhaps the fact that you're even taking business trips should be your first clue), and you decide it's worth a hundred bucks or more to get non-stop flights and not to have to fly out at six o'clock in the morning.

Also, when you're talking music with friends and it turns out they've never even heard the bands that defined your youth. Alas, New Wave, how you have disappeared into the mists of time. (Except for The Police. Oakland, June 13th. Anyone with me?)
