At sixty, I could physically do whatever I wanted to (I fortunately didn't want to run marathons or even down the street); life was good; I had energy and a real *life*. I truly felt like I was about 45 yrs old.

At sixty I didn't seen death hanging around every corner. I was able to cook dinner and be proud of it. I hated doing laundry, so I folded and put away *fast* to get it over with. I wasn't unsteady on my feet in my own house.

I wasn't decrepit, and now I am.

This study is bullshit. And it probably will result in R tampering w/ SS and Medicare.
