I'm out walking along Spring Creek here. Doing alright. Hydration report: somebody left a full bottle of Gatorade in my yard. It was unopened so I put it in the fridge. I've been drinking it and it tastes like Gatorade. But it's called Frost Glacier Freeze. But it's as cool as it is. It's not cooler because there is some formula in it that makes it cool. It's cool because you put it in the fridge. But I guess people like to hear that. Thirst-quenching glacier freeze. The colder the better. Put it on ice.

400 episodes? Are you kidding me? What are the odds of that? More on that later. It's always a pleasure to know I am beating the odds, in whatever area of life I am involved in. But really, what are the odds of success, and how do we beat them?

It's a beautiful day today. I think it's slightly over 80 degrees. I decided to just go out for a walk. I didn't wear any sunscreen. But it looks there is some shade. We're on the other half of what we're calling the Spring Creek Trail, on the other side of the street. This is all new stuff, especially the part at the beginning with the blacktop and the yellow line in the middle. There seems to be quite a bit of shade, which is good because I didn't put on sunscreen today, and I didn't really hydrate well either. So I'm being hypocritical today. But I'm wrong, so there you go.

I think that may be Spring Creek actually. This is video, if you're listening to the podcast. I'm doing video because I'm on a new trail today. And I'm not sure what it's called, but for now I'm going to call it Spring Creek Trail, because it does go along Spring Creek. The only problem with that is that Spring Creek winds through the whole town. So this may not be the only trail that's beside the creek.

Well these are perhaps the most intense episodes I've ever done. There was a lot of technical info to sift through. And I hope I've made it more accessible to more people. It is exciting to know about the work that's being done in genetics and what it all may mean for our future, including how long that future may be for each of us as individuals.

The goal of this episode is to try and summarize what we've been through and hit some of the highlights so they stick with us. This is important, especially with regard to the things we can do now to extend our lives. So let's get into it.

Do you really want a longer life? I always put those modifiers in—my conditions for living to a ripe age. And I think most of us would say that without some sense of enjoyment, some purpose for living, it might not be worth it.

But there are other things we need to consider. What about the implications for broader society? Can we, as the human race, support this concept? I don't know if I'll answer those questions completely in this episode. However, I will explore the potential problems and benefits of having a population in which maturity takes on new meaning.

There is a range of temperatures where we're comfortable. Our bodies don't have to do any work to stay warm or cool off. When we're exposed to temperatures outside of that range, our heart rate changes, our breathing changes. We need more or less blood flow to the skin. These are the things we have to do to survive.
