And VINKO was his name-Oh

V-I-N-K-O, v-i-n-k-o, and Vinko was his name-Oh.
I think this children's song is over 100 years old.
We were invited to several parties on Sunday. And we could only go to 2 of them and so we split up. Kieran went to his cousin's 3rd birthday party while we went to Mary and Julie's dad's 100th birthday!

This was living history I had to be a part of, how often do you get to sit next to someone over 100 years, unless that person is a tree or a tortoise.

What do you get someone who turns 100?
They've seen the horseless carriage, the commercial flight, space flight, TV, TTC, the Blue Jays winning back to back World Series, and the Leafs winning the Stanley Cup. Heck, I'll be 100 when that happens again.

Hey he's even got an iPod. Nah just kidding. That's his hearing aid. But it looks hip.

This is a pretty special event! You even get letters from the Queen and the Prime Minister, GG, Premier, and mayor of TO when you hit this land mark age.

He's been living in Canada longer than is native country of Slovenia. He doesn't even need glasses. And he's not the hunchback of Notre Dame either. He's over 6ft and straight and his mind is sharp as a tack. And he's even got a full head of hair. Only thing going is his hearing. Too much Eminem playing loudly in those ear phones.

And this village apparently has several people in their 80's and another gentleman in attendance who's in phenomenal condition and is 99! Except he's lost most of his hair.

What's this Village People's secret to longevity?
No salt. And everything is homemade, lots of veggies and walks every day. Stay away from Good Ol' American fast food. It's designed to put dollars in the pockets of the giant Pharma corps and Insurance companies.
And no TV. It turns the mind to mush.
What about Reality TV?
That stuff is just crap.
Basically. Garbage in, garbage out. Eventually the garbage bag rips.

Read books. Respect yourself and your fellow person.
Be nice.
