You're just crotchety SINSULL. Old has nothing to do with it. Those guys were old and they had the guts to go out there and do something.
They have learned that you can't stop living for the fear of dying.

They did what they set out to do, thus proving all the grumps to be wrong. But if they had died doing it, they would have died doing something they they loved. Is there a better way to go?
