    Impressive!

    My mother died at 101 but she was bed and wheel chair ridden for the last 5 yrs, which is a reminder to me of the need to do what I can to remain healthy and to stay in shape as I continue to age from here (66) on out.

    Something all of us Boomers have to worry about w/our increased longevity.

    101 is wonderful. My mom passed at 58 but my dad, who is 67, is still very active and athletic. He plays multiple sports, and while more injury prone now, he's still one of the guys to be reckoned with. Maybe when he's close to 90 or so, I'll be able to beat him at something.
