nyny not too bad

And, then there are those who were born 'old.' My ex (my kid's dad) is a
perfect example of that. Before he was even 30, he was old. I'd much
rather be around people who are chronologically old and think young, than
the other way around! :-)

Well, I have a few hiking buddies that are in the 60's and one is
close to 80 but I really do think genetics plays a role in folks that
age still hiking the dickens out of me. Both are in what we call
Mountain Rescue and go to help hikers/climbers who have gotten lost
