Rudy Boesch @91


I did not know that until now. He is the classic example of the Survivor coattail rider. I wonder if he's the first Survivor player to die. May we all live to at least 91. RIP Rudy.

Knowing people who are 90 or
older, why would anybody want
to live that long. Their quality
of life is horrible.

Down this way is sort of a Mecca for geriatrics. Of the 90 + year old people I've spoken with, each had had time to consider dying and every one of them said it would be ok. They had all reached acceptance.

My 95 year old neighbor [who drove herself back and forth to Laughlin] moved away, and in with her daughter two weeks ago. She is an inspiration to be so physically able at her age.

When speaking with my wife yesterday I told her if the people with that life extension program show up out in the driveway, I was going to start shooting.

I see a small number who keep doing well. The rest not so much. I figure I will go around age 70. People gasp when I say this. Some get upset. To me it is figuring reality.

Everybody wants to live to 100 but nobody wants to be 100.

Not sure what would be to gain. Most of it is repetitious. Just going to see decline of the world we know. And the Pirates will not win a World Series in that time.

You say that because you aren't
there yet. When you get to 70
you'll see it's not that bad. It's
80 that's the bad one.

Not an issue of it being good or bad, it is about it being the age when the males in my family start to greatly decline in health and go.
