Started shopping for a triple crankset with teeny tiny chainrings

"A Dancing Dick Van Dyke"
by Dan Rather
"On Friday, Van Dyke’s [99th] birthday, the British rock band Coldplay released a video for their new single “All My Love” as a birthday gift to Van Dyke. Oh, and the song and dance man stars in the video, which is this week’s reason to smile."

BTW: #KEarth 101.1FM is a long time 'oldies' station. It used to play 50s, 60s & 70s music back when I went to UCLA.

You know you're 'computer old' when you've actually used all these forms of data storage... #melbourne #scienceworks #data #computers #oldage
We're both sleepy-heads. Awoke at 5:45 a.m.; Mother said she'd been awake since 3:00.
"Wake me back up at 8:00."
"I hope you weren't overthinking!"
"I am now...!"
your gratitude rise over us like rain

I got told by my kids today that #MiddleAge is between the ages of 38 and 45. I asked where they got this precise information from and they said it was just what they thought based on how adults behave.
I asked whether this meant 46 was #OldAge and they nodded and smiled as if this was the most obvious thing in the world.
Their dad has been 46 for all of 3 weeks. I’m fast catching up, should I be scared?

True but, if you replace Biden, at this point, how do you know that the person chosen has any better of a chance of beating #Drumpf?
No one knows if #Harris or #Newsome (who are the only viable candidates) can beat Drumpf. Newsome has the better chance (for obvious reasons) but both have baggage that will impair their candidacy.
Is that baggage any less than that Biden has?
I think not but we know that Biden has beaten Drumpf before and, instead of all of the disruption caused by calls from Biden to step down, the Dems should stand him with their undivided support to counter the unquestioned support of the GOP for Drumpf, despite all of his flaws which IMO are far greater than anything you can say against Biden.
If Biden loses to Drumpf this time around, it won't be Biden's fault.
It will be the fault of a dysfunctional Dem party and to the idiocy of the people who choose to vote for Drumpf or who refuse to vote to "make a statement" which thereby favors Drumpf.
Scientists have identified a genetic form of Alzheimer’s disease in older people, pinpointing a gene of which some people carry two copies. The gene, called APOE4, is not only a risk factor but an underlying cause for the disease when found twice in a person’s DNA, researchers say. Finding a way to target APOE4 in treatment is crucial because Leqembi, the only drug found to slow the disease, causes dangerous side effects in people with the gene. The Associated Press has more.

Dan Lloyd of a #cycling you tube channel is doing a series of videos on #health when older, #oldage .
It’s pretty amazing, and Dan is living it. I’m 50 and following along, doing strength and endurance trainging. I’m building a bit of a gym, and I’ve got a weighted skipping role….
But totally recommend, this is video 2

Good morning.

Old age, it is what it is, isn't it? I had a rough night last night; I ended up getting up and sleeping in my recliner. It was my fault, I ordered Mexican food and after I sort of mini gorged on my favorite candy, Red Vines. I know that candy is on a list of things to avoid. To top in all off, I forgot to take my evening meds, which almost always makes sleeping rough. Hmmm ... I usually check my weekly pill container before I get into bed to make sure that I didn't forget; it is my fail safe, so to speak, but I forgot.
