I have tremendous respect for the elderly. My dad use to take me to visit my great-granddad when I was 12. He was about 94. This was sometime in the late '80s.

I have tremendous respect for the elderly. My dad use to take me to visit my great-granddad when I was 12. He was about 94. This was sometime in the late '80s. We would mow his yard for him. I have his gold pocket watch that was made in 1908. He would take us for a ride in his big '70s car. When crossing a street, he would look both ways, then punch the peddle, maybe because he thought it was safer to get across as quickly as possible. One day they took away his driving privileges. It will be nice, I think, when we do have autonomous vehicles - for people like him. My dad told me one day, "If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself." Point taken. Put down the twinkie; go for a run and wear sunblock.
