3.   Do you text your grand-kids and / or their parents?
4.   Do you still snow ski or at least bundle up and get out in the snow on occasion?
5.   Do you still have the family over for holidays?
6.   Are you thinking of downsizing but realize that you need a larger house to accommodate all of your growing family?
7.   Are bridge and / or golf your only activities or are you still involved in the community on some level?

9.   Are you buying your work out clothes at REI or Academy or do you just throw on last year's rejects?
10. Are you able to run to the mall or grocery store in workout clothes and no makeup or do you have to put on your face
