Age and grace



Today's presidential inauguration speech was written by Jon Favreau, a 27-year-old writer who penned speeches from coffeeshops and then stayed up til 3am writing even more. Speech days were for blearily, wearily, gratefully and proudly watching said speeches roll off the tongue of the Presidential hopeful (and now President).

Freelancers: clearly, he's one of us. (Except he looks waaaaay too pulled together. Maybe it's an East Coast thing.)

In the same vein, Nora Hardwick bore all for a local charity calendar. Pretty sassy for a lady who's 102 years old. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,312234,00.html

Which is all to say, age matters! Mostly because of the fact that when it comes to doing what you love, it really doesn't.
