“KEY WEST, Fla. — U.S. endurance swimmer Diana Nyad told supporters on a Key West beach that they should never ever give up. Nyad made the comment Monday shortly after she became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the help of a shark cage.” NYTimes, com news alert.

Diana Nyad is 64 years old. This was her fifth try in 35 years. How inspiring is that!

In some “women’s magazines”, once you’re 60, you do not exist. Or you’re so invisible you might as well be dead and buried. Yay for a babyboomer who let the world know we’re still here. We’re still vital. We’re still setting records.

And BTW, we keep on truckin’.
