My esteemed father-in-law, retired captain of industry, was 70 today. He celebrated by running around Howth head. I am not joking. He won his race category but, as he pointed out, since there were only two people in the category, this was not as great a victory as it might seem.
Herself made buns to celebrate:
When I orienteered with school there was a chap who was still winning at 79. When he had his birthday the remaining M70s demanded the creation of an M80 class so one of them might have a chance for a change. Something to aim for?
Definitely!
