Well, Father Time has a way of rearing his head, eventually. Jack LaLanne was an amazing man, and an inspiration. I hope that his death brings his ideals back to the forefront for a while, and inspires another generation.

Some of his feats are listed in the wikipedia link:
Jack LaLanne - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Apparently, almost nobody could do his crazy fingertip pushups... give it a try.

I've mentioned Jack LaLanne in conversation or have just thought about him many times over the span of my life. I remeber his show from my childhood.
