Not quite dead yet – Lynn Ruth Miller is making merry in Montenegro

Lynn Ruth Miller on her 82nd birthday

A message received today from performer Lynn Ruth Miller which, I think, deserves a blog in itself for unexpectedness:

---

I am now in Montenegro with 200 Russians at a conference called Well Over Fifty.

So far, there have been lectures on how to pulverise spinach for a gourmet treat, how to be happy – whatever that is – how to not give a damn about money after you make the first million and a demonstration by a 97-year-old woman shorter than I am on how to shoot a bow and arrow: a technique I have long needed in case I get accosted in a dark alley.  

The bow and arrow was a great deal bigger than she was and the only problem she did not address was how to transport it in your handbag.
