To know how to grow old is the master-work of wisdom, and one of the most difficult chapters in the great art of living. --Henri Amiel
Secrets of the Very Very Old:

If s/he worked on a farm, s/he saw the progression from horses to tractors, and a Model T tooted its way down the street. S/he is older than the Empire State Building, bubble gum and Mickey Mouse. In the 2000 census, over 50,000 Americans reported being a centenarian, 100-years-old or more. And this part of the population is the fastest growing in the United States. The New England Centenarian Study took a look at these very senior citizens to see what they had in common. [more]
