He’s an idealist. I have to admire him for trying, even if it amounts to very little.

I think my wake-up call was around age 23 or 24. One of my Dad’s cousins had to have major heart surgery, and he was only in his early 50s (53 maybe?). Then I realized that virtually all of Dad’s close male relatives have heart problems at around that age (Dad died of a heart attack at 51), and I realized that I didn’t want my life to be half over. So I started changing how I eat.

The gray bothered me until my early 20s but eventually I got used to it. If gray hair was my biggest problem, I’d have it awfully good.

And so I can. I am now twice your yourng frinds age and not at all ready to be old. Tell him to get a grip, he’s still got most of his adult life ahead of him.

Many of us, in the Houston area, couldn’t understand a doctor that would waste his life and education in the pursuit of politics.
With all that he has accomplished in politics the question remains.
