According to the genealogical charts I've been able to construct, my (paternal) grandfather was the longest-lived male "ancestor" in the tree.

Assuming that I live that long, I'll take his title in about 7 months - unless I can dig up another ancestor who was actually healthy.

If I can hold the title for ten years or so, I might consider breaking with family tradition and coming down out of the tree, although the ***** I see down in the grass doesn't suggest a really strong incentive to join the crowds there.
