I CAN finally grow some facial hair though. That started about the time the metabolism changed at 37.

Yeah, I'd have to say that I may be a little "rounder" than I used to be. I'm okay with that, though.

I think the thing with your dad is that he doesn't just sit around. That'll kill you faster than anything. Life without a purpose seems to have a way of saying, "Screw it. I'm done." You hear the stories about 90 year old folks out cutting hay or chopping firewood like it's just a normal thing for them. They have a purpose and they just keep on chugging. Obviously, good genes and a reasonably healthy lifestyle are important, but a reason to keep going is also just as important.
