My hat is off to Hillary and Bernie.

Hillary is 68. Bernie is 74. I'm 65 and cannot imagine keeping up with their schedule in this election. All the election food they shouldn't eat, all the miles they have to travel each day, all the speeches they have to make with a smile on their face and the patience of a saint, two; three, four cities in one day, two or three states in one day. OMG! The pace would kill me. I salute both of them.

I'm 37 now, in pretty good health, need little sleep, and I still think they're schedules must be nightmarish.
