Well I've turned 69, will be 70 later this year, but that's only 20.6 Celsius.

I found this a few years back, don't know if it belongs here. Cyclists never grow old, just slower. Greg LeMond said something similar, but it ended "you just go faster" I guess with all this cycling we have quite a few years left, but my view of mortality have changed, or even only just developed in the last year or so.

OLD MEN
Ogden Nash (1902-1971)
People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when...
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.
