In the spring, "Doris Day was all set to celebrate her 93rd birthday," until a dug up birth certificate proofed her to be 2 years older than believed.  Some speculation was her age got bumped around as a young starlet.  Nonetheless, 95 it is.  And she's stickin to it.     story              

Principle in the type:  "The limitations that are the natural consequence of advancing age can in fact become remarkable sources of spiritual learning and insight. . . . Physical restrictions can expand vision.  Limited stamina can clarify priorities.  Inability to do many things can direct focus to a few things of greatest importance."    David A. Bednar

Babies aren't always bringing up the rear.  Sometimes they are in the lead!  Wowing "top brass in two recent interviews," Sean McVay at just 30 years of age was hired as head coach by the Los Angeles Rams, "making him the youngest head coach in N.F.L. history."      story

HAPPY AGING

"A federal judge has ruled that the music publishing company that has been collecting royalties for the song 'Happy Birthday To You' does not hold a valid copyright" to the song.  It has the right only to certain arrangements, and not to the song itself.   news                I'm not sure who's getting the royalties check for 'Happy birthday to you/You live in the zoo/You look like a monkey/And you smell like one too,'  ---but they might be rich.



Principle in the type:  "Looking old ... should be a boast about experiences accrued and insights acquired, a triumphant signal that you are someone who, beneath that white hair, has a card catalog of valuable information."       Frances McDormand
