I'm just a spring chicken, only 73, although I do have plans for my 97th birthday.

Lucky me I'm in excellent health, have a reasonable income, good relations with my one son and my sister. I have several very good friends. It could hardly get better.

I run 3 marathons a year and can bench press 250 pounds.
Oh horse shit.
I hate those people.

They are abnormal.
I move as much as I can, but 80 is 80, and there ain't no cure.
