Mike Glyer has pointed me to this MSN obituary for Olive Riley, the “world’s oldest blogger”. At 108, Olive was a shining example of what can be achieved if you are not afraid of opening your mind to new challenges. Somehow I doubt that I have any chance of living that long. Indeed, I probably won’t get much past half way. But I hope that while I am around I will continue to keep my mind fresh, just as Olive did.

And to save Justine the need to point it out, Olive lived just north of Sydney, which I’m sure proves the superiority of Sydney women over all other beings on the planet. For now.
