Super Agers--Who, Me?

 Yesterday, my usual perusal of The New York Times introduced me to a concept of which I was not aware--Super Agers.

Super Agers are folks over 80 who remain cognitively healthy and still have good memories. Despite occasionally wandering into a room and then wondering what I was looking for, I think I still have a good memory.

The article identified strong social connections and an extroverted personality as contributing to the mental agility of Super Agers. Hmm. Does Facebook count? What about dogs and cats? Aside from John every day and Josie three times a week, quick visits from her folks,  and the occasional dinner with friends, my social life is pretty quiet--and I like it that way. 

And  it's too late for me to become an extrovert.

HERE  is an article about super agers. It's not the NYT one, as it's behind a paywall, but it's similar.
