I leave religion out of this discussion because the above stated true story illustrates problems.

The paper carried an article about the oldest man alive 123 if you can believe his documents. He said he did nothing special. conversely I noticed Dr. Melanson died he was 52

I suspect that people who try and live healthy lives may be able to extent their morbiity

"morbidity" means disease or ill health. Don't you mean mortality?

I get up every morning and just do the best I can. I have enough common sense to know you only have one body so take care of it the best you can.

Jeanne, you remind me of Boomer. I wonder is she is here somewhere posting? I know it isn't JBlum but Boomer was an English major. AND so funny. And from Cincinnati.

I wonder if she ever moved here to TV?

What documents? He hasn't shown any documents. There have been enough frauds in the past that no one should waste any time speculating as to why he lived so long. He might be a really old looking 95 year old.

When are we going to meet you at Crispers, Villages Pl? We want to see how healthy and trim you are. You could be funnin' us and be fifteen years old and weigh 300 pounds and eat Snickers.

Come and meet all the folks you talk to so much at the next Crispers. When will you return Barefoot? October?

You can bring your ice water and fruit Villages Pl. Most of us don't eat lunch there just drink something tall and cold.

October sounds good, but I won't return Barefoot.

GG, we were planning to return in November ... but we'll make it a month earlier if Villages PL is going to make an October debut! Barefoot or not, I'd love to meet him!

Whether he's 123 or an old-looking 95, I think we can agree that he has good genes. And I hope he is enjoying a happy life. Sometimes I wonder how satisfying life would be if you outlive your spouse and siblings and friends.

My wife and I took out life insurance policies on each other -- so now it's just a waiting game.
