From The Week magazine (sign up may be required).
A British man claiming to be 101 years old finished last week’s London Marathon in a respectable 12 hours, stopping halfway to smoke a cigarette and drink a pint of beer. Buster Martin, who may actually be 94, was trying to set a world’s record for oldest marathoner. He said that whatever his real age, his unusual choice of mid-race sustenance proved a point. “They say [cigarettes] and booze are bad for you, but I’m still here, aren’t I?”
A great way to run a marathon (if you like running 26 miles, that is).

Big Pilot and I flew another winner home today. Little guy had some kind of heart procedure and was bouncing around more than a check from the Hillary Diane Clinton campaign. Even better was, we didn’t bounce much at all as we took the little guy and his mom home (no turbulence). A fine day in the air.
BP and I alternated legs and we BOTH made “smooth as buttah” landings. A rare occurence.
Like Mazda sez…..zoom, zoom, zoom.
Great stuff. Now that I’m at the home base, let me say this: Celebrating with Dewars is fun!!
