If the statistics are to be believed, I probably wouldn't be here. People in my family generally live only into their 60s, or if they make it longer than that, they develop dementia. I've long believed I'll make it to 70, so if you subtract 20 years from that I'd have taken a dirt nap years ago. I don't worry about it much.
