Supercentenarian or Bust!

There are more than 60,000 people in this country over the age of 100 And now a new demographic group has been identified -- known as supercentenarians -- people 110 years old. There’s a book out called “If I Live to be 100” by Neenah Ellis with profiles of centenarians.
It’s a growing group and one that I hope to be part of. So what are you going to do for all those years? Ah – in my opinion, this is the life –

At 112, Alabama Man Is an Artist
Frank Calloway views art as his job and sits at a table by a window drawing for seven to nine hours a day….."He draws all day long except for the time that he spends in activity and eating his meals……. "That's what he loves to do."
