So I have these lyrics in the books. A friend of mine, Zoe Lewis, wonderful entertainer, and she sings a song that I just love. You're never too old to be young. And, sure, I think that one should be playful to be playful. Now, a side effect of that is I think you'll be happier and healthier. And if you're happier and healthier, I think you'll live longer.

But the reason to do it – the problem with most people now is that everything they're doing is for some other reason. I'm taking this medication so that eventually. I'm going to the gym so that eventually. I think who knows what's going to happen eventually. I feel lucky that I enjoy exercise and always have. But if I didn't, I don't know. You get yourself. Yeah. I don't like exercise.

That's exercise. I was telling somebody the story actually just yesterday. So I was visiting friends many, many years ago in Vero Beach. And they said in the morning, let's go to Captain Jack's. I'm thinking, Captain Jack's, it's going to be breakfast. And I'm thinking, I'm going to have a big breakfast. Why not? We're going to take a long walk to get there. And, you know, I'm very excited.

So we get down to the beach and we're walking to Captain Jack's. And then there's this stick in the sand that says on it, Captain Jack's. All it is was the end point to our walk, you know. Well, for me, if I had known the walk was just for the walk, I probably would have enjoyed it much less.

You know, that if I'm in Paris and shopping or window shopping, I walk, you know, 10 miles a day and enjoy myself thoroughly. But if you said, let's go for a walk of even five miles and it's just to walk. Now, this is mindless. I'm not suggesting this is a good thing. But, you know. uh, activities that are meant to be fun and that are easy to engage and are fun, um, are, uh, will be good for you.
