Default possibly the best age-defying role model

In seeing this, my hope for an active elder life is even more reinforced.

Nice. I hope my body lets it happen. The brain part is there.

Our ski club has a 1968 Olympian still active, and other seniors doing great things. My circle of outdoor adventure associates that are late 50s - early 70s have a bunch of 20somethings in our posse because most our age are no longer active.

Get out there people! We had a little snow so time for a fat bike ride.

Pretty incredible, the parasail back down looks like it would be really fun also, and would be something I would be very interested in.

Myself I just try to think and act immature

Snorkeling an offshore reef in the U.S. Virgin Islands with my 90 year old father was the most personally inspirational thing I've ever witnessed. He was being treated at the time for both bone and lung cancer, but didn't let that slow him down let alone stop him from living life to its fullest. A year later (and a month before he died) he and my mom celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary throwing back Margaritas on a beach in Cozumel.

Hopefully the younger generation also picks up some aging tips from him - tips on how not to age so quickly.

Hopefully the younger generation behaves responsibly to make sure they leave the world a better and safer place for Keith Richards to live after they pass on...
