Here's some sobering info. If you are male and were born before 1950, you're already past the life expectancy for your birth year.

OTOH, I guess that means you're a survivor.

That's some obscure stuff, right there.  Canadian singer/songwriter.  I like that "Four Strong Winds" song.

I'm 63 since July. I'm actually feeling pretty good today; I went and got a cortisone shot in my left knee yesterday and haven't felt a bit of pain since!

Good for you Stonelover.  Keep going.

I was 85 for a long time but they kicked me out of that club, so now I have to be 86.

Ride safe out there guys and gals.

Life's what happens while you're making other plans.
I always knew I'd get old.  How fast it happened was a bit of a surprise, though.

Wow well done Sir...and nice touch with Four strong winds....literally written the day after "Blowin in the Wind" in response to Dylan and while hanging with him

Ian Tyson...amazing...a nd not many folks know about him!
