Interesting to realize that, as an 80-year-old senior citizen, in some ways I am still age-phobic and an ageist. So, back to the “processing” process to take a closer look at why I hold these ageist ideas and how I might change them for myself and for others.

Good day!
*Mount Sentinel. If you look close, there’s an M on it. Behind it is University Peak.
Right after sunrise on this chilly day, I’ll depart on a hike down Hellgate Canyon. If possible, it’ll be a long hike. I could see some drizzle.
This afternoon? Editing.
Be everwell.

Neighbors Celebrate 101st Birthday On the Same Day–Living Next Door to Each Other For 4 Decades
Wildfires tore through much of the southeast over the past week, destroying an ancient temple and priceless national treasures, threatening UNESCO-listed villages and burning numerous small villages to the ground. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/03/30/asia-pacific/society/south-korea-wildfires-aging/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #asiapacific #society #southkorea #wildfires #aging #elderly
Higher blood concentrations of acylcarnitines--fatty acid metabolites indicative of mitochondrial metabolism--are associated with more severe Alzheimer's symptoms. Acylcarnitines may be a measure of 'bioenergetic age' that categorizes susceptibility to Alzheimers.

Good day!
Have to share this. It’s maximum zoom with my cheap phone. I finally caught a squirrel partaking of my morning offering on the Milwaukee Trail.
My April journal is setup. Another chapter is edited.
I’ll walk (winterish weather has returned), purchase Evie food, & edit.
Be everwell.

- something about visible six pack and weight loss.
- whole body strength training
- up to 130 heart rate long cardio
- posture: stretch hip flexors + shoulders
and...
- ¡¡ Read the food labels !! 
Our magnum opus on everything related to #aging (at least from our point of view) with the title “Biomarkers of aging: from molecules and surrogates to physiology and function” is out now in in Physiological Reviews, publications of the American Physiological Society (currently still as a preprint - #openaccess, i.e. everybody can freely download and read the article)! Hopefully written in a manner that is accessible to all, including non-specialists. Great collaboration with Regula Furrer from the Biozentrum, University of Basel.

What can you find in this review? A couple of teasers:
1.) What is aging? An inevitable normal biological process? A disease that can be treated or even cured? In any case, aging is one of the strongest risk factors for many (mostly chronic diseases), e.g. #cancer, #neurodegeneration and #dementia or #cardiovascular pathologies.
2.) How can aging be studied? What do genetic diseases of "accelerated aging" (e.g. #progeria (super-) #centenarians or specific geographical regions of supposed longevity (e.g. in a so-called #bluezone tell us?
3.) How might human aging differ from that in animals? What could this mean for the study of model organisms in this field?

Good day!
I found it, the line between winter & spring.
For me, after so many days writing around other tasks, I have a day of peace for writing, though adversity has made me insanely productive.
My last hike was my longest in months, my legs eager to tackle more next week. Bring it on.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I took the Milwaukee Trail to explore the wild areas along the river across from downtown.
Nostalgia on my part? No, sorrow.
While our skyline grows, these areas decay. There’s neglect, restrictive fencing popping up, & expanding homeless encampments.
All thanks to our gov’t-slashing Republican governor.
5.1 sad miles.
Be everwell.
#Today 26
Good day!
Shortly, I’ll head east on the Milwaukee Trail for a hike along the river.
Over the next month, I’ll extend that to include Hellgate Canyon, Mt. Sentinel, & Pattee Canyon. Then, I’ll expand my horizons again.
Later, I’ll edit a chapter & reach 67% on Book3. Milestones, I note them all!
Be everwell.

My death is not imminent, maybe 5 or 10 or 20 years in the future, but by processing it now, I will be better able to die gracefully.

guys, here is a question -
how old do you think you should be to still be able to do the strength training?
and particularly to do the arm balances or other calisthenics?
what could motivate you to workout?
(i think the fear is the strongest motivation)
what's your thoughts in general about aging and being able to workout?
- do you think you can be too old to workout or is it okay at any age?
- and what kinds of workouts at what age is ok?
- what do you think about martial arts and how good or bad they are to get fit? (i think many do not work for this goal but may make you feel better mentally. also for many you need to train strength and stretch additionally to be better in it)
(and.. how old do you think I am?)
join the abs party, btw !
six pack beautify people a lot better than brilliants!!

Good day!
On my walk yesterday in the rain, I solved a problem in a key chapter & came up with a handful of blogging ideas.
I’ll draft one of those today.
The edit is 64% done. This was drafted 8-years ago with some light editing since. It’s kinda rough. But not when I’m done.
Be everwell.
CONCLUSION: a slow process, like erosion, #aging can appear in really huge events that only later can be understood as "Well, that's when grampa turned into a little old man.'
#Aging observation 9,242,466,832:
It's a non-linear step-function.
