Fifty years ago, my grandfather turned 80. I was a kid at the time, but I can vividly remember the stature of my grandfather, solemnly seated in a big chair and us, gathered in the room speaking in hushed voices – out of respect for his old age. Indeed, he came across as an old man. With all his faculties more or less intact, he came across as weary, or as he would refer to himself, der dagen sat. Looking now at the recent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition with an 80-year-old Martha Stewart on the front cover, I doubt my grandfather would have considered posing for a magazine. Let alone the front cover.
