Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

"Instructions for living a life.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Fauja Singh

     I've mentioned Fauja Singh in the past.  He is a 101 year old marathoner.  He completed the London Marathon last weekend.


     After that marathon, he announced his retirement from marathoning, but not from racing!  He still will run races from 5K to the half marathon.  Good for him.  We all need more active role-models as we age. (Note his tee-shirt, "Sikhs in the City"---he has a sense of humor, as well).
