On Staying Young

I heard someone singing at the back of the bus this morning. I thought it was a young man with headphones on. I turned and instead saw a Chinese uncle revisiting golden oldies, no headphones. I got up and sat next to him to hear him sing. I said he had a nice voice. I found out he was 70 years old. He didn't even look 60. I told him the singing must keep him young. He laughed. "I'm in my twilight years, many of my friends are gone. I also don't have much time left. I just have to be grateful and stay happy." And then we had a chat about Engelbert Humperdinck.
