I thought 66 was old but now that I am 66 it is only a number, not the number 26, but not the number dead. I think aging is really a funny thing that defies expectations. It is never exactly what you thought it would be.

Ignorance is bliss! At exercise class this morning three of us "girls" were agreeing that it's important, at this stage of life, to stay active. I try to do that. My mother died two months short of 102. I don't want to live that long, though. I need to live long enough to use up my large yarn stash!Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09782394068144501251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6185056688439833438.post-92087791567723361412016-02-28T22:53:37.795-08:002016-02-28T22:53:37.795-08:00Actually it's been OK for me.

It's all a matter of lifestyle, genetics, or plain good/bad luck.<br /><br />I don't think people are paying attention to the candidates, no one even thinks about the fact that after the possibility of two terms, most of the contenders will be too old to handle the stress. I look at some of the candidates and I imagine Trump [for example] will have a heart attack or a stroke before too long, and that woman will be self medicating if she isn't already ...
