A cousin of mine is in his mid 80s. His mother receently died at 106 and one of his aunts (mine also) lived to be 102. Years ago he remarked that he hoped he had a lot of my aunt’s genes. Now it looks like he got them as well as his mother’s.

Good luck in the gene pool is great as long as the last few years are healthy ones. Otherwise, it’s probably better to go out with your boots on.
