Some folks are very vain and so will continue to pursue this quest and will spend a fortunate attempting to achieve it.

For me I continue to abide by the Greeks suggestion on moderation. I apply it to my eating habits, exercise, etc. I welcomed and have accepted every stage of my life's journey. I believe genetics plays a pivotal role. I am more concerned and focused on my personal relationships and with the spiritual aspect of my life .

Perhaps after all these years i am tired of the experts prediction, retractions new predictions, etc and believe my fountain of youth resides deep within me and those I have come to love.
I most certainly agree with you, Rubicon.

I don't fear death for myself. I worry about my Sweetie and Helene being left alone or thinking about life without either of them.

None of us are getting out of here alive. The pleasures of the table are so lovely that giving them all up seems wrong somehow. Moderation is the key, to me anyway.
