Started on Chapter one of The Old Man and the Sea by Hemingway. With my schedule, I don't know when I'll get around to finishing it (although it is very short).

Mid 60's, and still going strong. He's had a rough 12 months, health-wise, but still "bombs away" regularly. His wife, Laree, runs the forums and their internet shop presence. The regulars at the board have an annual get together, and it's a pretty good community, with areas for oly and sports related lifting, powerlifting, bodybuilding, all lifting, and even kettlebells. Dave's good people.
