[ExI] for longer life

[William Flynn Wallace]

I never meant that a person should sit in a chair all day.  I hate
exercise.  I love work.  Any kind, including housework.  That's enough
exercise for me.

Age at death correlates more strongly with the age of retirement than with
absolute age.  So it is true that having a purpose, a new job or just
hobbies that give one purposes are better than sitting around.

I don't want to go anywhere and I don't want to stay here forever.  Death,
where is thy sting?   bill w
