"It only took me 90 years to realize that the milestone I am looking forward to now is my next breath. The party, the celebration, is that next breath. I do not need one more thing."
91, amazing. "I don’t want to go back. I know what happened in the past. It’s the surprise of not knowing what the present and future hold that I love and look forward to."
Speaking of aging role models, you'll do very nicely, thank you very much! I especially like your remark about bucket lists. Could never quite get my mind around that one either.
I absolutely love Sally-Jane! She doesn’t know this yet, but I’m her soul sister. I’ll be 80 in March & I’m having the kind of fabulous
party I know she’d love. (If only I knew her, I’d invite her.)I aspire to be like her at 91! Talk about joie de vivre & Jouissance! I’m definitely buying her book immediately!
I love this interview. "Accept the discount, don't be discounted." We don't have to accept the conventional belief that older people, particularly women, are invisible. Only we can change it and I do daily. You're already a star and it seems as though you have been for decades. Thank you!

This was wonderful! My favorite line: "Never take a standing ovation for granted, even if you’re paying for it."
Me, too. She's got a lot of good zingers in here. Thanks, Doug.

"cultural expectations created my 70th at the Algonquin Hotel in NYC" -- I did my 30th birthday party there!
Oh, wow!
And that song she sang is incredible! It left me in tears. How can find this song? Find the sheet music?!! And her voice is stunning.

This was a really entertaining post. Thank you.
Love you and your joie de vivre, Sally-Jane! You jolted me like a strong cup of coffee this morning.
