I will not repeat all of the many interesting facts and figures that are reported in those articles, but rather will simply note that many of us turning 70 hardly feel a day over 69!! More seriously, one characteristic of us boomers is that many of us are still quite active - biking, running, hiking, skiing and of course basketball!!! Played nearly 2 hours of 5 on 5 full court last night at the Nederland Community Center, and can still walk today! Contrary to what Arn Willems insinuated in the previous basketball post, my teammates and I won all of the games [I should probably mention that one of our fellows was a 6'4" forty-something fellow that played college ball] :-) Below are some fellows that I would like to meet - maybe in our 70-and-over league!
