OT: What birth year do you consider old?

[Arzak]

3 seniors are bitching about life in the old age home, the 70 year old says "just once I wish I could wake up the have a real good piss." the 80 year old saws, "nah I wish I could wake up and take a big quality dump." the 90 year old saw "you kids have got it all wrong, every morning I have a good piss and a huge dump, I only wish I could get up before noon.'

One of our docs tells the story about a women that survived cancer, changed her diet, started exercising in her 60s, and was climbing mountains in her 90s . Never too late.

I watched a documentary and it basically confirmed what your doc is telling you. The stat if I'm not mistaken was if you are still walking and walk at certain speed(not sure if 5km/h) in your 60s you have 90% chances of making it till you are 90, while you have 80% chance you won't see 80 if can't do 5km/h walk in your 60.

I'm butchering the stats but it's close. You need to keep moving, and it's never too late to improve your health via movement.

I used to play with a guy who had double bypass surgery in his late 40s - in his mid-50s was playing with his sons in our 35+ league.

Another friend just turned 89 and still plays pedal steel and fiddle at dances twice a week with a 'bunch of young guys' - in their 50s.

I wish I had a friend that played pedal steel guitar.
