Today's newsletter theme – old people CAN actually be cool

On her 90th birthday, grandmother Hilary Oxley wanted to do something exciting to celebrate.

Rather than needlepointing or having a quaint picnic with her family as some may expect, however, the daring grandma decided to jump out of a plane. 

🪂 Behind the move: This wasn't Hilary's first time skydiving; she made her first jump ten years ago to celebrate her 80th birthday. 

  • “It was easier me coming out of a plane than it was getting on,” the nongenarian said. “I still go shopping and I think, ‘What do I want?’ That’s more of an ordeal for me than what I’ve done here.”
