We can't stop the aging process, but we can do quite a bit to slow the decay. Highly recommended reading: Younger Next Year, by Chris Crowley and Henry Lodge, MD.
Live well, SJW |

That's the part of it that bothers me the most.
My granddad frequently said to me, up until right before he died, "It all went by so fast." When someone who's 102 years old says this to you, it should make you stop and think. I have, and he was right. It does go by very quickly, and does so while we're busy paying attention to everything else. As has been said, inside of every old person is a young person who looks in a mirror one day and says, "WTF happened?" Live well, SJW |

The brain records time based on the intensity and frequency of memories and tasks stored.. I just took up the piano at age 72. |

It's so important to remain active, both physically and mentally, and it can really retard the decay that will otherwise set in as the years get behind us. Exercise is crucial, positive social interaction is beneficial, hobbies are great, and learning new skills is an excellent thing to do. Good on ya, Frank. Now I've gotta go look up "subjective time dilation!" Live well, SJW |

I hadn't been on the CF for much because of getting hammered by a few people. I can't believe DUB is gone! I enjoyed his posts and he helped me out a lot on projects. I never went to his shop but I think it was near Charlotte, NC
