reminds me of an old joke: “When I die, I want to go peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather. Not screaming in terror, like the passengers in his car.”

Hahaha… My wife was just saying earlier today that no one over 90 should be allowed to drive. If she’s able why not.

Reading, staying engaged, and socializing with others as often as possible… this all sounds great for longevity and for quality of life.

A 111-year-old man believed to be the oldest living man in the United States has shared the simple habits he credits for his long and healthy life. Luis Cano, who was born in Colombia on December 9, 1914, now lives in Linden, New Jersey. His remarkable age was officially validated by LongeviQuest in December 2025, placing him among the oldest people in the world, the New York Post reported. The centenarian never received a formal education.
Cano’s life has spanned more than a century of change. He once served in the Colombian Army and later founded a bus company that connected rural communities. Talking to Fox 5 News, he considers building a life in the US to be the biggest accomplishment of his life.
The rest of the article;
His three core rules are simple:
- Abstinence from Alcohol and Tobacco: He has never smoked or consumed alcohol throughout his entire life.
- Prioritise Sleep: He emphasises the importance of always getting “a good sleep.”
- Good Behaviour: He adds a simple moral guideline: “Behave well.”

I’m going on 82 and still flying. I’m pleased that this fellow is doing reasonably well but he does not seem healthy. I can’t imagine he would have passed a flight physical with his medical conditions. If he is legally flying as PIC (not right seat with a licensed and current pilot), he has likely defaulted to Basic Med certification, which leaves the decision that he is medically sound for flying mostly in his hands. Most pilots (all good ones) set personal minimums for their flight envelope. When I turned 75, for example, I stopped flying and landing at night even though I can legally do so. Night flight and especially landing had provided some of my most enjoyable experiences in the air. I have also set more conservative weather minimums for myself and I now use oxygen at lower altitudes than when I was younger. .

Fantastic website! Is that you in the website?
I can highly recommend this new book: Born to Live by Kenneth Scott (published on Amazon just a few days ago). Ken is 83 years old and a very active practitioner of the methods discussed in this forum. You might expect a book like this to be “all about my personal success”, but it’s actually a very thoughtful “manifesto about longevity” and what it means, as well as a very up-to-date review of what’s available (and what Ken has tried), from exercise, fasting and clean air to D+Q for senescent cells and gene therapy (follistatin, klotho, etc.). Ken also talks about what it’s like to be in his 80s, dealing with “ageism” in society, when he feels much like he did in his 20s and 30s. I think this is a truly useful book that many on this forum will appreciate.

Yes, I just took that photo 2 months ago. I have been on Rapa for 4 years now, and my stack keeps growing. One thing that is getting problematic is that some soft tissues in my wrist and knee are deteriorating. I have learned that some of those can not re-grow, like the meniscus. I am going to try some PRP Injections, which stands for Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy.
It’s all about living a long, active, and happy life.
