This from Mike Madden, a reporter for Salon, who was on “pool duty” today covering the president:

The World’s Oldest Blogger
“On December 23rd 2006, my grandson gave me a present, this blog when I was 95 years old … and my life changed … now, I can communicate and interact with the world.”

What a wonderful story.
