Your “Chasing Methuselah” editorial mimics his life: long. Nevertheless, it is good.

It is a refreshing editorial return to the “common sense” approach to health and the joy of living, for it puts emphasis on “diet, exercise and regular medical care.” It steps away from drugs and medical heroics meant to “cure” pseudo-illnesses such as “bulimia, alcoholism [and] pedophilia.”

Finally, your choice of words: ” . . . each of us chooses to spend whatever limited time we have.” Right you are, human behavior is a personal choice, and so are the consequences.
