We watched Betty White's 90th birthday party last night. We found it entertaining. And then right after that we watched about 5 minutes of her new show. Couldn't take any more because it was pretty awful but we were amazed that Betty is starting another new show!
The good news is that there are thousands of really, really, old people who are doing exciting things and living full lives.
I saw in my AARP magazine that Lesley Stahl is turning 70. What? She's gorgeous and has great legs that she enhances with gorgeous high heels.
And, speaking of reporters on "60 Minutes," most of them are really really smart and really really old. Morley Safer is 80, Bob Simon is 70, Steve Croft is 67.
Scott Pelley is young at 55 and the newest member, Lara Logan, the amazing war correspondent, is a kid at 41.
In this culture that reveres youth to a frustrating degree, it's exciting to see role models we can all follow - even us oldies.
