Silver Medal for Silver State
By: Liz Palmer / NSG
The National Senior Games competition
was held May 10-23 in Ft. Lauderdale and
Nevada was well-represented with close to 100
athletes making the cross-country trek to the Sunshine State. Sandi
Stapleton, our Games Director made the
Silver
State very proud with her silver medal in
the women’s powerwalk competition!
This was the first medal of the 2022
national games for our state and she
did it in a thrilling finish where she
out-leaned the bronze medal winner at
the finish line. Sandi’s time was 10:18.62 and the third-place time was
10:18.75. Congratulations Sandi!
One of the best things about any Senior Games competition are the
new and renewed friendships among the athletes. We enjoyed wonderful
camaraderie with athletes from around the country and other nations.
The connections made were heartwarming, and no matter the results
or how we placed, everyone had an incredible time. The National and
Nevada Senior Games understand that we know the physical benefits of
sport - but the emotional benefits and social connections made at our
Games are indeed priceless.

You Gotta Laugh
By: Bill Caserta / Bill’s Blurbs
One evening, an old farmer decided to go down
to the pond. He also grabbed a 5 gallon bucket
to bring back some fruit.
As he approached the pond, he heard voices
shouting and laughing. When he got closer, he saw
a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in the pond.
He made the woman aware of his presence and they all rushed to the
deep end. One of the women shouted, “We are not coming out until you
leave.”
The old man smiled. “I didn’t come down here to watch you ladies
swim naked or make you get out of the pond.”
Holding the bucket up he said, “I’m just here to feed the alligators!”
*Talk About My Skills:
1. Having sex at my age can be exciting. You never know if it’s an
orgasm, a stroke or just a cramp.
2. It takes real skill to chock on air, fall up the stairs and cry over
completely nothing. I have that skill!
3. Not only did I fall off the diet wagon, I dragged it into the woods, set
it on fire and used the insurance money to buy cupcakes.
*Words of Wisdom:
1. Don’t make old people mad. We don’t like being old in the first place
so it doesn’t take much to piss us off!
2. If a woman says “First of all” during an argument, run away as
fast as you can because she has prepared research, data, charts, and will
destroy you!
And Finally: I was at lunch this month with Publisher Dan and
pointed at two elderly gentlemen across the room. I said, “That will be us
in 10 years.” Dan replied, “That’s a mirror.”
