We may be all gone by then but if I live I will turn 86 that year, not so old by today’s standards. It is not at all uncommon to live that long now. I am already past the point at which most people died in the decade of my birth. Seventy used to be considered a “ripe old age”. Anyone who lived that long was said to have lived a full life, the biblical “three score and ten”.

While all that is certainly true, it's also the case that tho I may think I want that 11th donut, the reality of having it wouldn't necessarily be as satisfying as I might hope.
