Zabar's dreams and American nightmares: Being 91 – The Forward
Now that I’ve lived more than 90 years, at times I wonder what it would be like to be 100, or if I would want to live to be 100. I guess it would depend on what quality of life would accompany that age. Olivia De Havilland, the actress, lived to 104 and Kirk Douglas to 103. If they could do it then why not me? Bob Hope and George Burns lived to 100. Sure, I wasn’t as funny as they were; I didn’t tell as many jokes as they did, but I’m sure neither of them sliced as many Novas as I have. There is actually an “Over 100 years old” club I could join. OK! OK! Back to the real world.
