A Second Hand Conjecture

Want to stay youthful?  No magic potion, pill nor surgery will deliver it to you.

But, you can follow this prescription to ward off Father Time:  keep active and working!

Thanks to my friend and very smart guy Mitch Perlstein at the Center of the American Experiment for this fine column.

You might note that Mitch cites both conservatives and liberals who are following their passion, irrespective of their ages.  You might also note that in my own life, my dad has been an exceptional role model.  Despite hitting his 87th birthday a week ago, Dad still remains busy throughout the day.  An industrial realtor for scores of years, he continues to manage properties.  On a volunteer basis, Dad daily assists friends and strangers throughout my parents’ community with all kinds of technical issues:  computers, printers, DVD’s and the like.  He has served on the Board at their association and done mentoring in local inner city schools.

My mom sometimes wishes he would slow down.  I maintain that part of why Dad is in such fine shape is due to his constant motion and giving!
