Not Dead Yet

Roger Brockenbrough

Keeping friendships will take more effort as one ages, as people retire and move away. But it is important to have friends one can exchange thoughts with and engage in mutually appealing activities. It’s so much fun that way!

All the same, at last I had a conscious appreciation of an important fact that now renders every day a truly special occasion, namely, No matter how old you are at this moment, to successfully age, you need to understand that your existence is precarious, often random and brief. It’s up to you, to all of us, to make the most it.

I can unequivocally say that becoming an athlete saved my life and health. Today at 79, I feel better than I did at 37. I am still a businessman and scientist working a full-time job and enjoying every day this side of the grass.
