Queenie Principle

Seniors can be fit, fast, firm, and flexible till they die at an advanced age...just like my geriatric cat, euthanized at age 17. What is that in human years? 102? No matter. At that advanced age Queenie could leap chairs and tables, vigorously chase imaginary mice, lick every part of her body, and knew when to take it easy in a sunny spot...or a warm spot on my tummy.

Queenie is the source of my epifany which I now will call Queenie Principle. If we as humans, continue to exercise every day through every range of motion and exercise our brains we should, failing accidents, live fit lives all the way to the end.
