Don't die of boredom...

Take a look at Ollie's blog (blob, she calls it) where her helper/typist Mike is recording things of interest to 107-year-old Ollie and her friends. Hydroponics for all!

(There is reference to Jeanne, the woman in Arles, France who lived to 121 -- and might have lived longer, but it's rumored that her aids cut off her visitors when she was 119, and she died of boredom two years later. I often wonder if boredom got my grandmother.)

It's not getting me...

What a charming and feisty woman. Love her. I want to be like her when I'm that age (and for anyone reading, I have quite a ways to go before I'm close so stop giggling right now). Have you tried on the sari for W yet?
