Happy birthday Hy !!! What an incredible man, 101 years old and still working!!
WOW - he and a guy in New York City, who works for the NYSE and turned 100 a couple months ago and has worked for the NYSE for 80 years, supposedly, without missing a days work (find that one hard to believe), are the epitomies of an example of what I wanna do - play golf 'til I'm 120

No f'ing way. I retired when I was 50. I have a life and it ain't gonna be spent working for a paycheck.
