A Contrarian View

On the other hand, for those optimists among you, may I recommend the Gerontology Research Group, which appears to be the best advice group as to how to live to an advanced (and healthy) old age. You might also try this advice from Dr. L. Stephen Coles of the above Group as regards twelve things to do to increase longevity. (Look just above, at the end of the Tuesday mail section)

Since my father's father lived to the age of 93, since my father (who was somewhat less careful about his health) lived to the age of 82, and since I tend to favor my grandfather more than my father, I'm afraid that unless I do something drastic (which I do not intend on doing), I will be infesting this world for the next forty or so years.
