What's really sweet is that they are both alive and in fairly good health to celebrate this amazing milestone.

Well, WE are all the luckier that the two of them came this way.
As America slowly revives from having tied one on and then being left to stagger on through a horrendous and painful policy hangover from the reagan era, I suspect Jimmy Carter will stand taller and taller. At the same time, the almighty reagan will shrivel. Already we're learning how damaging reagan's policies and his "legacy" were.

From what I've read, Harry Houdini was determined to report back, after he made that leap himself. People still do seances trying to reach him. So far, in vain. I find myself thinking that I'd do that, too, but if Harry Houdini couldn't manage it, I have serious doubts about my own ability to be successful in that pursuit.
