Three Links for Your Tuesday, from The Washington Post

Nerds and geeks are taking over the Paris Olympics

Geeks find an obsessive interest that most others don’t share, then pursue it intelligently. That’s why they’re having so much success at the Summer Games.

My neighbor lived to be 109. This is what I learned from him.

Nurse began working at hospital during WWII and hasn’t stopped. She’s 97.

(great story but a somewhat misleading title)

Thanks for sharing this. The poem by Marjorie Wright Miller is hard to find now, but here's what I copied from many years ago:

The smallest flower that breathes but a day
Distills its fragrance into sweet perfume
Garbs itself with grace in bright array
Exquisite, brief intensity in bloom
Whether the notes of life are short or long,
From end to end what matters is the song.
