But when you get to seventy wouldn't you naturally want to see how much
longer you can prolong yourself?



I was at my wife's 25th high school class reunion this past weekend.  An old
friend was there, a building contractor I worked for nearly 3 decades ago.
He turned 80 last week, still working the building biz, still healthy, walks
a little slower than he did then, but other than that he's fine.  I told him
I want to be like him when I hit 80.  He said: When you hit 80?  You aren't
like me now!  How do you figure you will be like me when you are 80?

He always had that sense of humor.
