Red Auerbach died and maybe he would have lived to be 90 if he had not

My maternal Grandfather/Great Grandfather and paternal Grandfather
lived to be 103 and 101 respectively.

I'm planning on breaking that record. :)

When my parents took our boat to the Vineyard back in the 1960s, there was
this old guy who docked his small boat at the marina (in Vineyard Haven).
The boat had about 4 inches of freeboard. I don't know what the bottom shape
was, but the thing rolled any time someone on the dock sneezed. The guy
looked like he was 200 years old. He always had a 4 day beard - not sure how
he did that consistently from day to day. He went out in weather that would
scare submarine captains. He always came back with fish, and when kids would
ask how he was catching them, he'd cackle in some unintelligible language.

I see your future. :-)
