The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for September 22, 2022

But would it really be living?

I work hard and my body looks good, otherwise I’ve never worried much about my health

I’m 60 now and I do worry a bit, I’m in decent shape but actually getting “healthy” might take more work now than if I had tried harder younger

You might not live longer but it will seem longer.

I’m 3 years older than you??? Oh heck!

Let’s do some math. Lennie is 43 in 2001. It’s 2022 now. Depending on birth date, he’s about 64. The only thing on the list that we know he’s done is settle down with a good woman. (We know she’s a good one because she was willing to put with him in marriage.) One out of seven? How the health now, Lennie?

Therapy? Magic Meds? Both?

Well, we know his blood pressure was OK because Ginger is with him. Pets generally lower blood pressure.

Smokey bars don’t really exist anymore. That’s the only thing I would have cut out anyway.
