DON'T HOLD BACK
I am on the lookout for any and all stories about people around my age who are still going hard at life. See a nice article in the NYTimes:
Can't Stop Dancing to the Music of Life
This guy, Dudley Williams, is 65 and still dances with Alvin Ailey. He is their oldest dancer and perhaps the oldest dancer. This sure says something about the value of keeping up with my cardio! I do not regret giving up my work-'dancing'--the music had gone away--but I sure want to emulate his dance of life.
'"I feel that God has given me a gift,' he said. 'And if you don't use it, shame on you.' Despite expectations, Mr. Williams said his stamina and skills were undiminished. His slight body — 5 foot 8 and 130 pounds — continues to cooperate. 'I don't hold back,' he said."
