I always had fun going with my dad to Dean's and having a coffee at the White Castle across the street from his body shop. Great great guy.

When I was 58 I thought "I better do this if I'm going to, before I can't".
Then this June I turned 60 and had cataracts in both eyes (surgery done and have 20-20 in one eye now, next surgery in 3 weeks) and various shoulder and knee issues and thought "I hope I didn't wait too long, why didn't I do this sooner??"

But, to see see 80 and 90 year olds still running? That is GREAT inspiration!!!

Thank you to all who won't (can't) give it up!!

I had cataract surgery done last fall. The corrected my vision to almost 20/20. The results were amazing. No glasses after almost 50 years. I do have to wear readers though. My driving has improved considerably since the surgery. Very easy procedure. Only took 10 minutes per eye. I am 66
