In the spirit of the Guardian newspaper's column...

Who is your over 60 y.o hero? 

I will skip my dad and nominate Milan Kundera. I'm reading The Curtain right now...love it.

Mmmm I love Kundera - I have a good friend, pisces, met her in astrology class - she's 71 (I often have older friends) this year I think - our charts are so compatible, I love it

I admire her - she's jamaican, came to this country with nothing, barely any schooling, worked her way up, started her own business, found material success... In the second part of life, found something was missing -- spiritual life became her focus. She married, divorced, never had kids, never wanted them.
She's a good friend and I am grateful to her
She's got pisces sun, cap moon, scorpio mars, aries venus....she has a grand trine- can't remember if it's in fire or water
We help keep each other strong....somehow, it seems, the 12th house venus women seem to find each other. I have another good friend with this placement

I forgot this...Kundera used to write an astrology column under a fake name in Czech Republic (before he went into exile) after his works were banned...
