Don't cut yourself short! You have many furlongs to go! Your health is the envy of many a younger man.

You will to AT LEAST 100 - Because you work at it ......but more importantly - you deserve it:)

Age is an attitude, not a number. So you're approaching what . . . 26?? (At least in a golf cart!!) ;))

Funny how it creeps up on you. Suddenly, you look in the mirror and there's a "double take".

Isn't wonderful that you can appreciate each stage of your life!?!

Compared to me you're still a kid

You're as young as you feel. Stay healthy, be happy..."You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough." Mae West

Getting old isn't the issue...being old is.

Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young - Dorothy Canfield Fisher

I appreciate all the sage comments above. I remember the first time I was called "Maam" instead of "Miss" and am also offered seats on a subway. Ugh ~ I'm too young for all of that!

I don't think either of us has crossed over yet.

I'm going for 120. Glad you're in the race.

You're not getting older...you're just getting better!

An old fart is far more interesting and memorable than a new one. Just like a fine wine, better with age. Wishing I can be that as time passes.

I am a fellow Patriarch ! The commanding officer of my tribe of a wife , 7 kids , 7 grandkids , 3 dogs, 3 cats, 5 goats and 30 chickens . My authority is challenged constantly by the Matriarch. A huge force to contend with . Nobody calls me Mr. Hollander yet or ever . Everyone calls me Neil including my kids AND the locals. Oscar Wilde said " The tragedy of old age is not that one is old but that one is young." And yes Fred it does sneak up on you unless it clobbers you like a middle linebacker or an 18 wheeler which in my case is putting it gently. But like I said last week or as I was told in intensive care by the Doctor ....uh oh an aberration .... Mr Hollander he said..... Thanks to your excellent physical condition you are gonna get through this ! So stay in good shape fellow Matriarchs and Patriarchs so that if and when fate taps you on the shoulder you'll be tough enough to turn around say "Is that all you got ?"

I think the key to your success is Jo!

Just yesterday I was told that I "look good." I am following right behind you.
