In the grocery store parking lot, I saw a spry elderly man get out of his vehicle. On his back windshield was a large sign reading "retired."
I told him that he looked too young to be retired. He grinned and told me that he would be 90 years old on August 17th. His advice for longevity and youth was "Stop watching TV... Get up and move around, even if you need to sit back down in another minute!"
His wife shook her loving Italian finger at me and demanded "Never get old. You know what I'm saying." I thanked and wished them both well.
I should have hugged them.
