“Sage” is an historical name for really elderly and wise.

I don't remember the category "sage" (80-100). I just turned 70, and am starting social security (literally) this coming Wednesday. I like my free 70+ bus pass. I guess "Elder" is the stage where the youngsters take care of us!

What stage comes after 100? Not that I'm likely to make it, my father and mother died at 89 and 97, respectively. I will say that Susan and I have buddy workouts at the University of Houston gym, and she is a phenomenon that amazes the "rising adults". Last upper body workout she did 53 push-ups. I managed 43, but you would not mistake me for an actual athlete. But then Susan is pretty young, won't be 70 for a bit less than three weeks, so the discrepancy stands to reason!
