You're telling me I'll still have some umph when I'm 64 - that you'll still need me, that you'll still feed me?

Hard to believe from here in the run-up to it, seems like I'm picking up speed on the back side of the hill...

My dad was Just fine until his 70's.

My dad is pushing 80 and still doing o.k. - not super great, but I hope to be doing as well when I get there.

My mom's dad was on all kinds of blood pressure meds, and they mentally aged him prematurely - after a decade of the slowly gathering fog they changed up the meds and it was literally like they reset his mind to what it was 10 years earlier.
