How Long May You Run

How Long May You Run

Read the other day how better health care and other environmental factors may allow some of us or others our near future to reach age 150 (and our Friday blogger only seeks 1/3 of that number).

 

I found myself musing what activities might one pursue approaching well short of those numbers.

 

We socialize with people in our age range, some a bit older, some not much younger.

 

Last night with two other couples we talked retirements (only one on pension but still working part-time) and living arrangements (keeping our homes, moving elsewhere, switching to an apartment (rental or owned)).

 

I then turned to my work day and other activities.

 

My weekly full-court basketball games continue to skew younger in terms of players we add (That also helps my home Knights of Pythias lodge which sponsors ball and the entire order which need to skew much younger.).

 

One of my current projects involves a political campaign. Other than the candidate -- still younger than me -- and its treasurer, my daily interaction mostly involves folk much younger -- essentially my professional children if you pardon the phrase.

 

So might those sporting and professional interactions (and similar ones with my son and daughter) just help me feel not old at an age older than my dad's mom and dad when they retired (Indeed from my earliest years I never recall them teaching or running a business.)?

 

Food for thought on a Sunday morning. (And interestingly as I concluded Neil Young starts to sing a solo version of his Stills-Young Band classic, "Long May You Run," on my AppleMusic self-created radio station, called "A Good Feelin' To Know Radio."
