We had a good friend--my age--die at 63 a couple of years ago. He retired at 60 and was diagnosed with esophageal cancer about 3 months later. Fought it for close to 3 years before it got him.

It seems as though if you can make it past the early to mid-60's you seem to get a chance for another decade at least. Strange, isn't it?

Carpe diem, my friend, at any age!
