24,106 sunrises It's my 66th birthday today.
As I look back at 55, 44, 33 and so on ... it was an interesting life. I wonder where I'll be at 77.

For most situations gravity is well approximated by Newton's law of universal gravitation, which postulates that the gravitational force of two bodies of mass is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

I put the odds at 50-50 on making 84.
Congratulations on making it this far. Keep on keepin' on. AND MOVE, keep moving. Everyday, as much as you can. |

55. Ya know ... at this point 84 sounds pretty good.
|
That's the trick to staying alive ... moving as much as possible.
I blew it all to hell last winter by sitting on my tush. My hips were yelling at me for most of the summer. I even bought a walker to get going again. We are expecting a delivery of a 10x10 shed in about two weeks. Then I can move over half the junk inside to the outside. I'll be able to use my treadmill for something more than holding my coat.
