Being part of the MyBlogLog social community, I have come across a variety of people who span the globe. Yes, there are many Americans on the site, but I have seen plenty of citizens from France, India, Venezuala, various Middle East countries and, of course, Canada logged on.

I stumbled across a new community on Monday called, Don to Earth, but when I saw the person’s picture I thought this was someone’s idea of a joke as the photo was of a very elderly individual. I have gotten used to many community members posting caricatures of politicians, cartoon figures, even animals for their profile picture and I thought someone did the same for Don.

Turns out I was wrong. Very wrong. Don Crowdis is a Canadian blogger who is 93 years old. He is the third oldest known blogger in the world following immediately behind 94 year old Swede blogger, Alan Loof and an American, Ray White, who is also 93 but a few months older than Don. Earlier in life Don was the first host of a popular Canadian Broadcasting Company show, The Nature of Things and he was the curator/director of the Nova Scotia Museum before helping to establish what is now known as the Ontario Science Center.

So, what is my point? Quite simply it is this: while the very breath of life remains in your body, you can still impact people. In the case of Don Crowdis we gain insight via his blog of a time long since passed by in the life of a man who isn’t in a hurry to quit living.
