I was just starting to get going when I turned 60 - and have been more active in many ways than I was in my 50s.? Of course losing 160 lb helped a great deal - the doctor and I talked about that Thursday.? Twenty years ago he told me I would not live another five years if? I didnt' lose weight.

I am 66. I remember in my 20's thinking I would certainly not survive past 30 given my lifestyle. While I would be fine doing?any reunions solo as it is way more peaceful, Facebook tells me plenty of my senior class is still alive and doing things. I guess 60 is not so old right now...

1.? Is race a genetic or cultural phenomena?
I see it as more of a cultural than genetic.? Melanesian Pacific Islanders and a lot of Subcontinental Indians are darker skinned than the average American Black but they are not considered Blacks.? I am of the opinion that culture drives behavior more than genetics.
2.? Will the war between Pakistan and India go nuclear?
Hasn't for the last forty years - hopefully they will continue the good work.
3.? Are you?optimistic about the remainder of tis year?
Fairly so - I am going to my 58th High School reunion this year - the sponsor told me she didn't think enough people would survive to 60 to have a reunion.
4.? Should Alcatraz be reopened as a federal supermax prison?
An interesting idea - certailnly escapes are extremely unlikely
5.? Were you surprised at the new Pope?
I was hoping a candidate from one of the three unrepresented continents would be named - but was amazed than an American was chosen
