Go easy on the booze, quit smoking, get off your butt and walk instead of
drive whenever feasable, take the stairs, watch your diet a bit more
carefully. Fly as often as you can, do fun stuff frequently. Enjoy life.


..... and then there's my Dad. Age 91. Smoked till age 70 (unfiltered Pall
Malls). STILL drinks at least one (sometimes two) six-packs of beer a day.
Hasn't eaten a green vegetable in all of my 50 years. Lives on hot dogs,
bologna, and potato rolls. The only medical stuff he's had done in the past
50 years has been to have his prostate reamed out and cataracts.

And is obsese. (Not grossly, but he's got a pot belly.)

Still rides a bike. Quick reflexes. Shoots pool every day (won the Gold at
the Senior Olympics). Has absolutely no idea what his cholesterol or BP is.
His outlook: what's the worst that could happen? It kill me?
