When I was younger, I wanted to live until I was 100.

Now, I don’t. 🙂

But that’s not what this post is about.

My 98 year old paternal uncle died yesterday. Bud lived a long life and a great life. He’d been ready to go for a while, so while his death is sad our sadness is softened…

My dad is a remarkably healthy 95 year old and works very hard at staying healthy.  Bud lived 98 years and didn’t work very hard at staying healthy. Their sister, Lois, at 93, is most likely somewhere in between her brothers as far as focus on health is concerned.

Obviously, longevity lies in their genes.

And that got me wondering, what does it take to live to 100?

Google, of course, provided an answer!

Take the Living To 100 Life Expectancy test and find out your chances.

PS I took the test, and I’m supposed to live until I’m 92.  🙁

I’ve got to start eating more cheesecake!
