Did you know that Clint Eastwood is 88 years old? I first watched him as Rowdy Yates in the old Rawhide TV series starting in 1958. Then came the Spaghetti Westerns (Italian), Dirty Harry and so many more films that he both directed and starred in.
Here’s an interesting story.
(more…)There are a lot of comic strips and email cartoons parodying seniors. I get emails from Senior friends with lots of hilarious cartoons about the foibles and frailties of being older. Some have to do with memory loss. Some to do with hearing loss. Some to do with just plain getting older. They show wrinkled and sagging bodies and seemingly stereotyped activities. I love to read them and truly enjoy their messages.

Golfer Gary Player is 83 years old as of last November. He is one of the best golfers of all time, winning 9 major tournaments and, along with Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer, one of the top three golfers of his time.
When he was 80, Gary Player was asked what he considered to be the best thing about turning 80? He answered: “The best thing about turning eighty years old is that I’ve got the next twenty years to look forward to.”
Gary Player still exercises vigorously at age 83. He says he can do 1000 sit ups and crunches for his stomach muscles per day.
These are his Top Ten Rules for Senior Athletes. While we are not all golfers, these rules make good sense for any Senior.
