I am 50 Plus not Over 50

This is the first post of the 50PlusKrav web site dedicated to those 50 plus who are involved in an active, aggressive sports not only Krav Maga.  As a first post I am interested in what comments you have in regard to the statement on the home page which is quoted below.

I don’t really like using the term over 50 because it isn’t over, it is just beginning. To me the word over indicates that something is done, finished or past its prime such as game over or overdone. Whereas plus means there is more to come or a positive value. Believe me, my life isn’t over and there is definitely more to come. And for that matter, I don’t think those who have not reached 50 should use the term over 30, 40, etc. Nothing is over till it is over.

If you have any thoughts on the above please feel free to share. All I ask is that you be respectful of other who may read the post with regards to language.
