Need a life goal? Be this guy

[johnridley]

Athens resident and University graduate Fred Birchmore

has done more in one lifetime than most people could even imagine.

He was the first man to ride a bicycle around the world and was the first known foreigner to come out of Afghanistan alive since Marco Polo.

He's done everything from camping out under 2,000-year-old olive trees in the Garden of Gethsemane to sleeping on a boat in the Sea of Galilee to living in a cave on Capri.

I knew about C but didn't mind, I changed it a bit now.

I'm sure there's more than a tad of exaggeration involved here, but hey, the guy's got great stories, and at 93 looks pretty good for a man of 70.
