As I approach some of these "milestones" on one hand it's something to look forward to, but at the same time, will it mean anything by then? I can get discount bus fair at 65, but maybe by then I'll really need it. I could go travelling, more money but also discounts, but will I be fit to travel? The future is a bit more definite for the next few years, but suddenly the variable is weather I'll stay reasonably fit and healthy. Michael |

Or maybe they'll require an onsite medical exam to see if everything is safe, then ask you to sign a waver form. Michael |

My mother lasted till two months before her 93rd birthday, so it's kind of a standard to look to. On the other hand, all but one of her very oldest friends remained, so that's kind of sad. There was also a long decline, starting about ten years before. Small things at first but they started piling up. It's hard to judge these things, but her mobility slowly declined, and I can't help but think that spurred things on. Staying active seems like an important thing, but that's easy to say, I'm still "young". Michael |

Not many places I actually want to travel to, but I ski as much as I can depending mostly on the crappy skiing weather in SoCal. Cheap Metro fare is nice because most of the places I take it to charge $4/hour or more for parking. We have to know our limitations, but we can try to fight the bastards every step of the way! -- Cheers, Bev "In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from." -- Peter S.

They all require you to sign a waiver regardless of age -- "skiing is inherently dangerous...obstacles...God..." etc., but I don't think it will hold if the cable breaks. -- Cheers, Bev "In all recorded history there has not been one economist who has had to worry about where the next meal would come from." -- Peter S.

One woman that rides up with me to the pass regularly is 77 yo. She is significantly ahead of my 15 days so far this season. At almost 70, I have a ball snowboarding the double diamond runs whenever conditions allow. Limitations? It really does pay to stay in shape, and having fun ways to exercise are the best way to do that. |
