How Long???

So how long or how old do you want to be before you die and do you think you have a choice. Having grown up with a wild bunch of guys(Roberto), I figured I might make it to 26. Lo and behold that came and went ages ago. Now I'm hoping that I live to be at least as old as my Mom and Dad who are 77. This will give me time to be with my Grandson and my daughter with whom I have many years to make up for, for not having been in their lives. My wife wants to live to be 100 as long as she is still able bodied. I happen to believe that a person's days are numbered from birth. That when your time is up, it is up. That you have no control over it. Look at the guy in Texas this past weekend who was riding home on his motorcycle in a windstorm with his helmet on and an exit sign flew through the air and killed him. Now was his number up or what? Anyway, I guess only time will tell but just in case I'm wrong I'm drinking lots of green tea and exercising and taking lots of heart medicine, as in red wine. Here are some pictures of a palo verde tree and some cactii in bloom. Notice no lawn to mow! That's what I like, a low maintenance yard. Of course I just say that I am really with the Green movement.
