Interesting commentary Mike, and one I share in principle with you. I picked up the gauntlet for personal well-being 35 years ago....and have steadily improved since. While I have aged, it has been a graceful, linear occurrence....manifesting through a gradual loss of lean muscle tissue/brute strength and loss of flexibility (more specifically in the upper body articulating joints). plus a marked reduction in short-term memory (most especially regarding subject matter of moderate import). I have enjoyed pronounced resistance to pathogenic insult, retained/increased my terminal fatigue index (*stamina), my deductive and inductive mental talents, keen eyesight----and optimism regarding human destiny. It would be remiss of me not to endorse/recommend such a course as the one you have just proposed. Sincerely, Brooks. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M. G.
