6 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 20<strong>22</strong> 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.

Schedules, Online Registration & More Info: NEVADASENIORGAMES.COM 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.”
