Everybody Runs



This runner is eighty one years old.  He finished first in his age category.

Of course, he was the only runner in his age category.



Today I should wake up in Venice,  I will be away for two weeks.  Internet might not be available and time will be tight, so I am not likely to be visiting any blogs for a while.  But, posts are scheduled for every day I am away.  I hope you enjoy them.

  5. Jack, I hope that you take lots and lots of photos, which you share with us, and I hope that you meet blogger Pierre, a fine fellow indeed. Try to read some of Donna Leon's mysteries while you are there. One of my favorite writers. Have a GREAT time.

  11. Wonderful energy in his face. Someone like that will almost certainly live past a hundred. For eighty one, he looks a lot younger!
