A quotation from Dave Barry

   There really are things you can do to keep your body looking healthy and youthful for years to come. But before I discuss these things, I want you to answer the following questions honestly: Are you willing to make the hard sacrifices needed to be really healthy? Are you willing to commit yourself totally to a program of regular exercise, close medical supervision, and the elimination of all caffeine, alcohol, and rich foods, to be replaced by a strict diet of nutrition-rich, kelp-like plant growths so unappetizing that they will make you actually lust for tofu?
   Or are you the kind of shallow, irresponsible person who wants a purely cosmetic change, a “quick and dirty” surface gloss that may make you look young and healthy, but actually has no long-term value? Me too.

Dave Barry (b. 1947) American humorist, author, columnist
Dave Barry Turns 40, ch. 2 “Your Disintegrating Body” (1990)

A quotation from Dave Barry

   Is there something you can do about it? You’re darned right there is! You can fight back. Mister Old Age is not going to get you, by golly! All you need is a little determination — a willingness to get out of that reclining lounge chair, climb into that sweatsuit, lace on those running shoes, stride out that front door, and hurl yourself in front of that municipal bus.
   No, wait. Sorry. For a moment there I got carried away by the bleakness of it all. Forget what I said. Really. There is absolutely no need to become suicidally depressed about the fact that every organ in your body is headed straight down the toilet.

#Books Somehow, I missed that Dave Barry published a memoir last year. It’s called Class Clown, and it’s the book I absolutely needed in this time and place. I’ve been a Dave Barry fanboy for literally almost half my life. Even though he stopped writing his weekly column over 20 years ago, I still miss it and Sunday mornings haven’t really been the same without it. He’s written some good books over the years, including some interesting fiction, and I have no idea how his memoir went totally unnoticed by me until now. Oh well, reading it now. #DaveBarry

It's funny to think millennials know Dave Barry as a boomer humorist, but maybe there's a younger person out there who only knows him as the coauthor of an ongoing fantasy series reinterpreting the story of Peter Pan, started in 2004. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_the_Starcatchers

@LRRRonEarth We didn’t. It’s just that they didn’t spread as far unless you wrote a column for a newspaper or were a comedy writer for TV. #DaveBarry #SNL
