Lit Bit: Celebrating 90 Years

You think aging heroes like Indiana Jones and Superman are growing old gracefully as they celebrate their lives in their 60s? You should see my grandfather.

This weekend is the big party in the Bluegrass State. Family and friends from around the country and many friends and neighbors from the community are coming out to celebrate his 90^th birthday party.

To be healthy and active on your 90^th birthday ... now that's something worth writing about.

What do you expect to be doing in celebration of your own 90^th birthday?
