That's true. Living to very old age is very low on my priority list.
When my happy days are done I want to be done. I think there can
still be some happy days in front of me.

My dad turns 80 next month. He has been a widower for almost 10 yrs so
far..and is doing just fine. He will live into his 90s based on his
family history, in pretty darned good health.

You can do the same.

You just have to Want to.

I think Don doesn't want to live into "Old{Decrepit|} Age" so much
as he doesn't want to live into "Old{Geezer|Respected Elder} Age".

Remember back when 50 was _old_?

I don't want "life is misery" old age. I've seen what life in
nursing homes is like and I want none of it. If I can't do some of
what I enjoy doing, have some mobility and freedom and have some joy
each day, more of that does not appeal.


My 'retirement plan' is to keep busy at something, till the day I
die.

If you can do that, more power to you.

I would rather be riding the two seat ultralight that shows as my
wallpaper on this machine (N199LS) than the Cessna.
