Heard that an old friend from my youth has retired for health reasons. Of all the people in my crowd of friends you would have thought him the least likely to experience health issues at age sixty that would force a lifestyle change. I don't think he gained an ounce of weight since age eighteen. He worked as a nurse. The last time I saw him (five years ago) he was riding a bike around town. He displayed no (or very few) signs of getting older. If you placed his student ID photo from college alongside a photo at age 55, you might have to look twice to determine which was which. Everything seemingly lined up towards him as being healthy into infinity and beyond. Then a year or two ago there was the shocking news that he had suffered a heart attack.
You just never know!!
