It won't as you get closer, cause it sure beats the alternative.

Not always. But if you don't have your wits about you, you won't know the difference.

91... that damned "following too close" ticket on I-70 outside of Denver last week cost me... and that drinking thing.
My goal is 125... I start counting backwards on my birthday...

92, which is about the low end of my family's life span historically. Then again, my dad died at 54 from throat cancer.

I kept waiting for the question, "do you jump from airplanes and get shot at for a living?"

80 for me. My mom's parents both made it to 82, my dad's were 60 and 72 years old, so we will see. I'm only 27 right now.
