70 things to do when you turn 70

Yes, I am the 27th essay: Never too late.

I got two complimentary copies, and ordered two more (9 £ each): there is so much wisdom from so many different seniors in it!

Here are first some citations from the past some used:

George Bernard Show:

"We do not stop playing because we grow old,
We grow old because we stop playing."

And some others advice: begin to play again! Fool around.

Experiment!

At his 70th year birthday, Mark Twain:

"At 70 you may through aside the decent reserved you which has oppressed you, and outspoken stand unafraid..."

So many good metaphors too. Here is one from Nikki Giovanni.

"I am saying. This is your car. You drive it. If you got a passages for part of it, good for you. If not, let the top down and hit the road. Now. Go and be happy."

This resonates to me so much also, as to celebrate my 70th birthday, I did hit the road, literally and for the first time in years drove a car long distance again: from Washington DC to the outer banks of North Carolina. I was drunk with the pleasure: I can do it still. Then, back, I had for a short while, a passager. Before, I had to let the top down and go my way again. Discovering new path, new roads, new joys. In Paris then in London.

Most interesting from 50 000 ? 5 million visitors?

I have passed the cap of 5 million visitors in Flickr .

Many joys yesterday, even if the gig near Morgate was not between them.

It did bring some great laughter, even if the mood was far from what I expected.

In the small old truc, at new cross? the red bus gig brought me a joy, with less audience then this one. And also better comedians.

I should have stayed, to see the others after pause, but tired, I went out and took this image, enchanted.

One never knows where we go someplace and what we will find there!

Coming home, with not the right bus either, but having to walk longer: good for my legs!

I will be performing there too, it will be my 74th gig! Did it... Chris douce goes with his Meetup group, in many interesting places bringing each time eager audience with him.

  8:00 PM to 10:30 PM

  Here is his text about Pegasus Comedy at the Flying Horse, 52 Wilson street EC2A 2ER London, the 26 September.
• The Flying Horse

  52 Wilson Street, London, EC2A 2ER (map)

  Travel to Moorgate (national rail or underground), and the Flying Horse is a short walk away, just off one of the squares in the area. Any problems, give me a ring.
• The last visit to Pegasus comedy was a blast and the promoter (and acts) loved us so much, we were asked back.

  Situated in the heart of the city, Pegasus comedy is a real gem of the London open-mic circuit.  It's a place where new and experienced comics come along to try out their new material, on their journey towards getting paid gigs.

  The night is run by comic Bill Bedford and the MC for the night is going to be Glen Lenny Sherman, a cheeky chappie cockney type geezer who we saw do a set in Deptford back in August.  With Bill booking the acts and Glen being the charming host for the night, it's bound to be a cracking night. Well, he was friendly, a bit strange humour.

  Just like last time, Pegasus runs in quite a small room, so I've put a limit on the registrations.  Please register if you're only able to come (so other members don't miss out).  There isn't any formal register or anything - all you need to bring is yourself.

  Looking forward to seeing you on the 26th!  It's going to be a cracking night!
