If my mind and body are still there, do I want to live to be 100? Heck yes! I swim with some 92 year olds now who are "all there" and having a ball. Why not go for it?
One 92 year old old Italian geezer--who dives, swims and walks like he's 50--flirts with me on a regular basis. He goes to dances, and is amazed that the old ladies fight over dancing with him. He says this didn't even happen to him in Jr. High or High School (he says with amazement). Course, most old ladies are now widows with nobody to dance with, but I never bring that up to him. He's enjoying the attention. He even walked thru Italy last year with his daughter and her family!
**I did ask him if he always exercised, and his answer was no. He had been an engineer for the government, sat on his fanny, and didn't start exercising until he retired at 62--so, I assume this means, it is NEVER to late to start.**
Good article. Got lots out of it, so thanks!
