Will I Live to see
80?
Here's something to think about.
I recently picked a new primary care doctor. After two visits and exhaustive Lab tests, he said I was doing ‘fairly well' for my age. (I just turned Seventy).

A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him, 'Do you think I'll live to be 80?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued ribs?'
'I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating, sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'
'No,' I said...
He looked at me and said,..
'Then, why do you even give a shit?'

This is funny, T & C!
Coming to think like the 'old fogy' I am, it wouldn't seem there would be much else to live for, except that we know that we get vicarious joys in seeing the youngsters perform. We have so much family and friend sharing that just transcends those wonderful pleasures of youth. At least I think so, but I have been wrong a couple of times in my long life.
Nevertheless, the story is funny!
