Yeah, numbers are, these days, just a superstition. I do no play sports, but still I can perform in the lot more important exercise performed in bed.
And then you have the case of Blincoe: he is around 75, but he feel so well he consider to be 32.
I accept his declaration.

It is understandable; first, to watch your immense chess collection; second, to preserve your huge fortune...

In poverty there is peace regards

I want to extend my best wishes too to Fernando and Dave. As I will turn 70 in March myself I know how it feels to get older...
There are advantages though coming with age like the feeling of relief when women say no.

no cupido senilis (old age horniness) regards,

Gerhard
