I've noticed that its probably a bad mojo to be on that list- they almost always die as soon as they make the record.

Now see, the way I think, I continue to gain more and more intelligence
with every passing day and birthday.
So I figure by the time I am 80 I will be brilliant!

I know a guy that will most likely live that long.
75 years old, still does all his own wrenching on his cars and is a very very consistent bracket drag racer.

So will I - in four more months! I ran 2 1/2 miles today and went to the gym for my regular M-W-F workout. On several of the machines, I had to wait for some young guys to finish so I could ADD some weight and do my reps. I have noticed that while I am as strong as ever, it takes me longer to recover between sets - guess I'm getting old.
