Will I live to see 80? (Here's something to think about.) I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, she said I was doing fairly well for my age. (I am well past sixty-five). A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking her, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?' She asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?' 'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!' Then she asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?' 'I said, 'Not much... My former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!' 'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?' 'No, I don't,' I said. She asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lot of sex?' 'No,' I said... She looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even give a shit?' |

All anyone has to do to understand McDonalds menu is to read the slogan above the menu. It reads. Good Food Takes Time, Yours Will Be Ready In Seconds |

Yep. I am ancient. Celebrated (not really a celebration) in April. Some here may not agree with me but I think I still have all or most of my marbles. That was my main concern. |

I am mostly impressed by your continuing ability to do home repairs. Actually I am amazed I can still do them at 70. |

It's a tired cliche but age is only a number. I was a lot older 5 years ago. |
