Smile How to be 104

Hemingway's boat captain, Gregorio Fuentes, died Sunday (Jan. 13)... he was 104 years old. He is often considered one of the models for Santiago in "The Old Man and the Sea."

And, just like a character in a Hemingway novel, when asked how he managed to live to 104, he replied - "Good cigars, good rum and beautiful women."
