I can remember my mother always saying that “time marches on” but when I was younger, I didn’t understand the impact of the statement. After all, when you are young, it feels as if your entire life is stretched out in front of you and you will never get old. As you begin to get a few years behind you, however, you suddenly come to realize just how much your mother knew when she was saying those little sayings. We may even watch people who were our idols when we were younger getting older, and it can be difficult. That may be how you feel about Dick Van Dyke, who recently turned 94 years old.
When most of us think about Dick Van Dyke, we probably remember him in one of his movies, such as Mary Poppins. He was such a spry individual and he always brought a sense of happiness to any scene where he played. We also appreciated the fact that he could move about and jump like nobody else, and those movies continue to be iconic down to this day. The interesting thing about Dick Van Dyke is the fact that he is still going strong. In fact, he wants everybody to know that “I have all my marbles.” It’s amazing what this man was able to do.

Dick Van Dyke is known for his movies but more recently, he got interested in politics. During one of his campaign appearances, he got up to say a few jokes and then said: “I think somebody younger, like Bernie, would be a perfect candidate.”

Politics aside, you really have to be amazed by what Dick Van Dyke has been able to accomplish in his lifetime. It’s interesting to watch him now and then, and we look forward to seeing him for many more years.
