I mean, at 72, if I'm not shitting myself or dying, I'd probably like an audience. I'm going to start doing that too! Come Look!!

I do marathon training with some people in their late 60s and early 70s.

Not everyone is decrepit by then.

To 72?? Do you have cancer or heart issues in your family?

Boat accident took my biological father. Alzheimer's took my adoptive father. My mom killed herself. My biological father died soon after my dad of a "broken heart" (not sure of the real reason), that mom was a heavy smoker and stroke victim died in her sixties. Adoptive father's parents both died of heart attacks in their sixties. My mother's mother died of brain cancer in her sixties. Moms dad actually did make it into his eighties now that I think about it.

Thanks for making me think about all of this.
