That is awesome! What an inspiration! Never too old to follow your dreams or live your passion - that gives me hope in knowing that the future is exactly what I make it to be - she proves it's never too late to believe in yourself and your abilities. Thanks for sharing that.

Ye,s I was aware of that. She plans to do 2012 and also claims she might see if she's still got something at 60, but it almost sounded in that interview like a flight of fancy.
