Squat Thrusts

I'm been led to believe, beyond the implication in this "Page Six" item, that Ben Quick, Billy The Kid, Brick Pollitt, Anthony Judson Lawrence, Harry Bannerman, David Alfred Eaton, Ari Ben Canaan, Eddie Felson, Ram Bowen, Chance Wayne, Hud Bannon, Lew Harper, Professor Michael Armstrong, Butch Cassidy, Rheinhardt, Hank Stamper, Joseph Rearden, Henry Gondorff, Doug Roberts, William F. 'Buffalo Bill' Cody, Reggie Dunlop, Murphy, Frank Galvin, Harry Keach, Gen, Leslie Groves, Sidney J. Mussburger, Sully Sulllivan, Harry Ross, Dodge Blake and John Rooney may be facing a hard situation. But it's almost as hard to think of any 83 year-old guy working out in an oncologist's waiting room and "doing squat thrusts" as being anywhere close to on the ropes.

On one hand, I'm told, he was taken from his home in Westport, Ct. to Norwalk Hospital last week in an ambulance. But he also drove Barbara Walters around the track at Lime Rock (also in Connecticut) 10 days ago for a program she was shooting on the topic of longevity. A tough old bird and best wishes to a good fellow.

Cheers to that! If there's a more god-like human specimen than Paul Newman then it hasn't revealed itself!

In fact i am not interested in these things, however, i like dating girls.
months ago a friend told me a online dating site WealthyLoves.c o m where people can find their perfect matches or quality friendships. ....maybe we can keep in touch and make friends on this site.

Back when Paul Newman turned 50, Pauline Kael remarked on how alarmingly young and vital he looked. She said he looked like he got 11 hours of sleep every night.

The secret to longevity is organic salad dressing.

I also recall that when Newman turned 50, he said his exercise regimen consisted of playing a little basketball, then drinking one beer every day.

Other than Neil Young, Paul Newman is the only other celebrity that I will genuinely feel sadness for when he passes away.

How could you leave Michael Gallagher off that list?

Whenever I hear that name, I can instantly hear in my mind's ear "We are absence of malice - we can say anything we want about Mr. Gallagher and he is powerless to stop us."
