As long as we feel able to be active then age doesn't matter.In fact it's probabky better health wise to keep active and involved in things.

Do these energetic septugenarians prove that 70 isn't old these days?.

Like a lot of GNetters, I am still working in my seventies, but not in a top job and I have to admit I am slowing down, but it's good to see that some of our contemporaries can still do well.
