I'm assuming that I would have been in my early to mid 20's to be able to afford stock purchases. That would make me apx. 100 years old today. While I have also been blessed to have been born into a long lived family, I gotta figure at 100, I'd be approaching eternity.

After watching my mom I have to hope I won't last that long. For the last couple of years her range of conversation is limitied to whatever she's looking at and the weather. 98 is not a rose garden for most of those who live that long.
