Was not 2024 a fascinating lap around the sun?
Before we reflect on our Christmases Past, have you been to your home-gym, or Big Box to work those sarcomeres?

If you, dear Viewer, were like me in that latest Leap Year, you had both Highs and Not-so-High experiences.
These FROSTY post mortems are evidence of my fascination for a year’s worth of healthspan and vitae:
- Our amazing bodies are prone to niggles, conditions, and injuries that come with ages and miles.
2. My unhealthy Kryptonite explains the coronary artery calcification of a 92-year-old male. (Spoiler alert: Lipoprotein(a))
3. God is great, Microbrews are very good, and some people are zany.
4. It Depends.
- Eating my own V I T A* dog food, so to speak, my enduring quest to thrive and strive needs adaptations. [*V I T A represents Volume, Intensity, Tempo, and Adaptions in my STRONG to SAVE model.]
5. Researchers need more time, perhaps a decade, to better grasp the complexities of atherosclerosis cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) for 2024’s baby boomers and Kaboomers (like me.)
6. Lives, that can be terse, are enhanced by episodes and encounters.
7. Don’t take your body’s “shock absorbers“, like knee cartilage, for granted.
8. I have one or more healthspan/lifespan tomes left to launch.
- Yes, my #3 libro – YOUR TICKER TAPE – may launch in the new year.
9. Comedy and death are easier than book branding and marketing 🙂
10. The Obstacle can be your better way , so man up, like Marcus Aurelius.
- Thanks to author Ryan Holliday for coalescing stoical practices that I embrace.
Adieu 2024
We bid adieus to many good folks – like Toby Keith, centenarian Jimmy Carter, my college classmate, CC Adams, and these luminaries:
I am blessed to keep on keepin’ on.
God Bless this Republic, and do stay well past 40,
Dave
