I think that older people have become more active in the last few decades. At
one time there were self/society-made limits on what you should do as you
got older. That even went for clothes you wore. I don't see that much anymore
and it is a very good thing. Nobody would get away with telling me that I'm too
old to do much of anything as long as my health allows me to do it.
