And....my aunt turns 103 this month. She still lives on her own & uses the internet. Her physical & mental health are still excellent.

That is just... cool, friend. Especially since she isn't apparently saddled with chronic pain, etc.

I have a question for each of her years.

Since it seems to have become easier for the CDC, or whomever, to keep track of the national record-keeper, and we're been receiving timely announcements of their passing (sometimes also of their successor, within the same week) I've noted that a majority of them seem to make it into the early part of their twelfth decade.

Could be my imagination.

And you know you are personally getting older when you have less questions personally you'd like to have had an opportunity to ask, such as the nature of their first experience with radio or flying machines, etc.

Now I think it would be more interesting to hear about the changes in the social and culture fronts, about the besieged extended family... that sort of thing.

Long life!
