Get A Load Of This...

I lieu of going out with my sweetie to play bridge and have fun, I'm looking for interesting stories to write about. I really wanted to go but I still feel so crappy I know I wouldn't have fun and probably not bid well, causing whoever was my partner to want to kill me.

Here is a story I saw on the news the other night. It's about an 101 year old man who is going to run the London Marathon on April 13th. Let's all cheer him on.

Now what this news story doesn't tell you and what I saw on the telly is that he stops every 5 miles for a cigarette and a beer before continuing.

It was a pretty amazing story, he was part of the "Zimmers" the group of old timers who did a video clip. I posted it last year, I'll dig it out.
