I felt similarly as I entered my late 40's. Strangely enough I was comforted by a rerun of "Magnum P.I.": Magnum is trying to organize a major party with his friends "like the old days," but finds everybody is too busy now working on their careers, early to bed-early to rise etc. I guess it's all about getting down to business and building a life. I was comforted to see that this seems to be the norm.
Now that my child is a teenager, I've been actively looking into volunteer opportunities in my community.
I've also come to realize that what's mostly expected of older people is money, or at least ability to raise funds. Social opportunities come from getting involved in sponsorship of organizations and people. So it looks like my role model may be switching from Magnum to Higgins.
