haleness

They have a taut new album, "The Line Up" (Clean Feed), that once again proves the haleness of their rapport.

But I do know that he gave an impression of far greater spruceness, haleness, clean-cutness, virility, call it what you will, than almost any dark-haired man you see about you, once past twenty-five.

Not to sound too rosy about getting old, nobody knows if the next generation of the very old will continue to show improvements in haleness, or whether methods of dragging out life mechanically will yield a crop of bedridden nonagenarians with tubes surrounding them like the snaken locks of Medusa.
