Midwestern Woman Becomes Oldest Living American
Here s the thing about becoming the oldest person in the United States it s not a title that one gets to hold on to for very long.
I would expect that those who are blessed with super-longevity are probably well aware of that fact, and would just like to enjoy their birthday cake while leaving the worries about the future to another day. Wouldn t you?
If I ever get the chance to sit down with one of the title-holders, I d love to know what their secret is. You ll often seen super-centenarians asked that question, and some of their answers are solid gold. My favorites are the folks who enjoy a drink every day, smoke a cigar now and then, knock back some fried chicken, etc. My less-favorite responses to the longevity question are the ones who never drank, never ate anything remotely enjoyable, never went to parties, and never married.
