The combination of a James Bond marathon on tv, along with a commercial for "Happy Gilmore" made me think some depressing thoughts.
Richard Kiel (big guy, played "Jaws") was on both some Bond movie as well as Happy Gilmore, and seeing him before & after, gave me pause. In the later movie, he's probably 60-65, and already needing a cane.
When my kids were out of the room, I asked my wife how many 70-year old mean she'd ever seen. She said 'a bunch'. Then I asked her if she'd ever seen a 70-year-old man my size. She just looked at me and didn't answer.
Never had thought of that before. All the really old men I know, and have ever known, are small-to-medium guys.
Better enjoy myself now, I guess... :crap:
