For Peter Pan on her 70th birthday

I was just watching The Way with Martin Sheen, and  heard the Gendarme say that he wanted to walk the Camino for the fourth time "when I'm seventy, God willing."

That was the latest in a series of references I've seen or heard to the age of 70 as a marker of Old Age.

But now it's not the latest because coming into my e-mail I see this from Berkeley Rep:

For Peter Pan on her 70th birthday
—a fanciful and moving look at growing up versus growing old within a family. In the wake of their father’s death, five siblings are driven to reconnect with childhood dreams and confront the inevitability of the passage of time. Les Waters helms this transcendent West Coast premiere.

I don't think this is the kind of community-provided bench the SF Chronicle was talking about today in its article https://www.sfchronic...
