Well, it's a beautiful day at Lake Fayetteville, and I think it's about 77 degrees. No clouds in the sky whatsoever. I think this is pretty much the weather we had yesterday. I didn't really get out.

I was working in the studio. Saturday, it rained a lot for the first time in quite a while. But today's very nice, and I'm walking on the shady south side of the Lake Fayetteville Trail. I'm going to go ahead and start now that I know how to use the fitness watch to track my walking.

So it kind of got me thinking, what big idea? Do I have a big idea that could impact society positively? I kind of think this podcast network, along with radio, can have a big impact. Maybe not on the entire Earth, or the entire universe, but maybe in the entire state. Maybe in a slice of the world, connected by the internet. I think it can make a difference. And I don't think it would take 100 million pounds or dollars to do that. There's that. I've also been reading about all the headaches that come with this wealth. Initially, I thought, well, it's really just going to make things a lot easier because you always have enough money.

And now it's time for the perennial favorite top 10 list of the oldest people ever. Living to be 100 is still very rare. According to World Population Review, in 2025, there were an estimated 573,000 to 630,000 centenarians worldwide, though estimates vary wildly, I can tell you. A centenarian is someone who is over 100 years old. The breakdown by country is interesting. Japan has the most, with 123,330. The U.S. is second, with far fewer, 73,629. Then China and India. It's interesting because these are absolute numbers, not per-capita numbers. You'd think China and India would be up there, and Japan is tiny in comparison.

It's a beautiful day at Dean's Trail. We've had a couple of days of nice, relatively cool weather. Alexa weather before that had been very wrong for a few days to the tune of like 10 degrees off the highs. We would say it's 77 and it's actually gonna be wound up being 91 or something. So, But it's very nice today. 70 is nice. The breeze is cool. And I'm enjoying it. I get to work really, really early in the morning. I usually don't take a lunch break and I get off really early in the afternoon. Or, you know, let's just say at least early afternoon. Leaning towards mid-afternoon. Started this walk at 2:30 if that'll give you an idea.

If you're watching on YouTube, you're in for a treat today—you get to see me at my ugliest in living 4K video. My right eye is black and swollen. I know what you're thinking: Did I lose a fight? Am I being abused? Who would do this to me? I could say something like, "You should see the other guy." But in fact, the other guy is my doctor, and yes, he did this on purpose—with my full consent. I had surgery yesterday on my eyelid, and this is how you look after someone cuts part of your eyelid off. So, why would I go through such a thing?

I came across an article in National Geographic from a few months ago. It's called "The Secret to a Long, Healthy Life: Your lifespan is overrated. It's health span that really matters now." It's about longevity and what some people call health span. Health span, as opposed to lifespan, refers to the period of life when you are healthy. We all hope we won't end our lives in an extended illness or disability that impacts our quality of life, and, as I usually say in the opening, my goal is to live a long, healthy, happy, active life right up to the very end.

Happy New Year! This is our first episode of 2026. I hope you had a great 2025 and are ready to accomplish great things this year. For me, it's always a moment of disbelief that another year has passed, seemingly so quickly, but I'm determined this year to pack everything good that I can into the stream of life.
