    Yeah, my math was screwed up. I meant 57 years, not 77. :D

    Shower thoughts: if you think about it, your 100th birthday is a pretty sad one. When you are 95, you can say, hey, I am going to make it to 100, but over a 100, your chances are just not that good for a few more years.

    Anyway, the Queen's husband just retired at 95...

    CNBC has been showing clips of Warren Buffet's interview with Becky Quick at the Berkshire Conference all day.
    He's really short of breath while he's talking. Like he was struggling to talk. Never seen him like that before.
    Wonder if his health is starting to go down hill.

    Anybody catch 60 Minutes last night?
    The opening segment featured the last living Nuremberg prosecutor. He's 97. Watch it... not only was it a great segment, but this guy spoke and acted as sharp as anyone (CEO's etc.) in their 70's. It was amazing.

    Interesting that he is only 5' tall. I wonder if that matters in longetivity,... being small that is. Toy dog breeds way outlive larger dogs. Who knows...
