how to live to 92. A freewheeling journalist who is now 92 has listed what it takes to live to 92 - and they are really funny.

This is my kind of 92 year old. I don't want to hear about how they never smoked or drank and always ate their fruits and vegies.

I want to hear from someone who actually "lived" and still made it to 92.

This article is over on www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/wire/sns-ap-int-roderick-weblog. and this link is too long and I don't know how to move it over here - techno idiot that I am.

Oh, well.

Anyone can live long by following a few important rules. I have lived by them for years.

1. Avoid violent exercise. "Whenever I feel the urge to exercise," said the Irish wit and dramatist Oscar Wilde, "I lie down until the feeling passes."

Forget that he died at 47; that's a whole other story.

2. Have sex as often as you decently can; new pills make it possible at any age. But if you don't or won't or can't, don't worry. It is a brief and highly overrated pleasure. You can live long without it.

3. Love extensively. You can't have a really fulfilling life without it.

Unlike sex, love is best when it has many partners. Love your family, your friends, some of your more interesting enemies, your dog, your cat even your mother-in-law. Especially love your country but don't hesitate to criticize its leaders. No one has a monopoly on wisdom.
