Living things: 99-year-old author Beverly Cleary
Things not living (even though he was last month): Abe Vigoda on Late Night With Conan O’Brien.
Who is the oldest person you know? A WWII veteran? A great-aunt? How old do you want to live to be?

I Don't Get It 
I used to treat my body quite harshly. Don’t think it will reward such behaviour with longevity.

“It’s alive..it’s alive” Dr. F Frankenstein circa 1930. Confuses things don’t it. I would live to live to be 90,assuming I am able to get around on my own. I am afraid the oldest people I know are my older sisters,and they aren’t THAT old.

90 would probably be good. The people I know over 90 are mostly in wheelchairs, in assisted living, and resenting the fact that their driving privileges have been taken away.

Yep that would be me. Well as long as the beer is cold and the bacon is crisp.

The oldest person I knew was Mrs. Otis at 114 years two days. She passed away last year. That leaves my best friend’s great aunt at 102-1/2. Not sure I want to live that long unless I had all my faculties.

I can’t even process 114. She must have been bewildered turning 100 and then she just kept going on and on. If it’s getting harder for me to hear and see now in my 40s, what will it be like then?

Great question. The things both women have/had in common is they never took anything stronger than an occasional aspirin and always led active life styles. I’m pretty sure my parts will wear out long before then.
