They tell it like it is...

I really enjoy reading articles about centenarians. Unfortunately, many times there are lots of obits, but I really enjoyed this one from the current world's oldest man in Montana. His advice: don't eat so much.

One of my other recent favorites was the obit for Gertrude Baines, who died earlier this month. Her long-life secret: crispy bacon. As another crispy bacon devotee, I have to agree with her. One of my grannies lived to be 93 and she swore by a nip of schnapps every night. It was the only "medicine" she would ever take.

I don't think I'll be taking up schnapps any time soon, though.

More to come...stay tuned.

Whenever I work with someone over 100, I ask them their secret. I can't help myself.

Some answers:
1. Chocolate
2. The secret is there's no secret
3. Good clean livin' (he said it with a sly smile)
4. I never married (female pt)
5. Eat good food, like meat and potatoes
