Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Yes, right on. But between here and "there", trying to avoid healthcare costs in any way possible!

Okay ... so I retire on June 30th this year.

So ... I went down to the bike shop and got myself a brand new mountain bike (my better half already had one). It wouldn't fit in her car so I said no problem, will ride it the 4 miles home.

Forty minutes and several near misses with heart attacks, I made it home It took me most of the evening to recover

This staying young and healthy is going to be a lot harder than I thought.

Great post

And don't forget to spend all the money so that the kids actually have to work for theirs

Reps to you

Has anyone tried the old folk remedy (and newer health thing) of apple cider vinegar every day in a glass of water? I'ts supposed to help with alkalizing the body and thus helping arthritis and other ailments. I got the "real" stuff (not sure if we're allowed to cite brands here) and starting, just to see what happens. Any other info on this appreciated.
