World's Oldest Blogger

Olive Riley is 107 years old. She started a blog last month (with some help on the typing and technical details).

So far, readers have left 450 comments on her blog. Technorati shows that 300 other blogs now link to it. And it's been a very popular feature on the front page of Digg.

Not bad for just over two weeks of blogging.

And please do actually read the entries. They're quite interesting. I learned about Shandy (a drink made of half beer, half lemonade), why zoning restrictions are prohibiting lettuce farming in an agricultural area near Ms. Riley, why she voluntarily had her teeth removed in her early thirties, and why she already has fresh olives planned for her menu in 2010.

Excellent! We should hook her up with Peter from the UK -- Celebrity Geriatrics YouTuber He's only 79 tho', so she'd have to be OK with a cradle robbing lifestyle.

Doh! Just realized the link to Peter's YouTube page in the above comment is wrong. Here is the correct link: http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=geriatric1927 If Olive reads this entry, I would want to ensure she knows how to reach Peter -- who AFAIK does NOT have BO.

If you're curious, the BO link belongs to this blog entry: http://blogs.sun.com/lskrocki/entry/the_b_s_have_left The fumes must have gone to my head - my apologies.

Heh. Good of you to be so vigilant in looking out for this potential love connection, Linda. ;)
