That's the scary part. I just looked at a note in my wallet this morning and my dad died when he was 68. I'm almost that age now! Well, about six years away from that anyway. Six years is nothing! But, he was in poor health due to a lifetime of smoking, and he was not really physically active as an adult. I can only hope that my cycling and tennis keep me somewhat fit and strong.
