The standard old New Englander response is "fair to middling." We don't want to brag.
I get your psychology, Mary, and that's closer to how I feel than what I say is!

I've a New Zealand friend who'd only admit to feeling "a bit average" if he was close to death's door ... there's definitely a geographical trend.
