I have a similar goal- I want to be my Grandpa when I grow up. When my Grandpa turned 90 he finally decided to see all the places he had never seen. So, in the last few years (he will be 93 in March) he has been to China, Russia, Eastern Europe, Africa, Mexico, Canada (to see the polar bears), Greenland, the Galapogos (I can't spell...don't know if that's right) Islands, Paris and Antarctica. He told me that some of those places he had wanted to see since he was 15...only took 75 years to get there. He also still swims laps every morning (when he had surgery on a blocked vein in his head and they told him he couldn't get the site wet, he walked his laps in the pool instead of swimming). I'm pretty sure he is in better shape than me right now...<BR/>Ladyaero (Emily)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13272521633529634471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21900544.post-85050964268490930312008-01-30T17:33:00.000-08:002008-01-30T17:33:00.000-08:00Reaching 86 sounds pretty cool, because no one in ...Reaching 86 sounds pretty cool, because no one in my family has ever reached that age. If we are lucky we generally peter out in our early 70's, full of medical problems, so that fact has also made me want to pack lots of living into the few years I have left. Of course, I have heard that one day people will be able to live to be 150 years old, but it will probably be inside of a weird medical tank, perhaps not unlike your pool!<BR/><BR/>AnnalisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
