Good for you! May you set new family records for longevity.

Most of my relatives have lived to the mid 80's (with one to 102) but then my younger 1st cousin dropped dead from a heart attack last year at age 61. Then there is one set of grandparents who died at ages 26 and 43 of natural causes, so one wonders. Just spend the remaining time living as good as possible. Isn't that what TV is all about?
