My great aunt lived to 101.
Her body slowly failed her, but her mind was pretty sharp up until the end.
She told me once that, she had lived too long.
Like the long living Scruldbruggs born with a 3rd eye in Gulliver's Travels: longevity is more of a curse than a blessing.
I'd like to live to 100 anyway!
I want that birthday card from the Queen or King, if there still is one in 2065.
Getting that birthday card would be like the theatre lights being turned up after a great movie.
Time to go home.
Please dispose of your garbage on the way out.
note: I also want to be the interviewed old fart that says:
"I smoked, drank, and didn't do a bit of healthy living.
So put that in your pipe and smoke it!"
