Best wishes to you as well. I hope that I'm still playing around with
this stuff at that age. I remember taking an online C++ course years ago
and there was another student in the class that was 92. He was taking
the course to help him stave off Alzheimer's! He did really good too. As
for me, I got a 100% on my final exam. And here I am still not great at
C or C++. No I didn't cheat. Brain cells up and aged on me since then!
<memory lane time>
The summer between my high school junior and senior years I had the
opportunity to take a college level physics course. One of my classmates
was positively elderly, being older than my parents - twas 70+ ;/
More seriously, for benefit of lurking "young whipper-snappers", stay
physically *AND* mentally active. My mother, who got her RN in the 20's,
did volunteer work at the Church Home and with social services outreach
to children into her 90's. That kept her physically/socially active. As
to mentally acuity, she pursued crossword puzzles, challenging my
brother-in-law, a tenured full professor of history.
End of lecture. *THINK*
