It's been a fun ride these last few years. We were 3-0 on getting Jimmy Carter, Dick Van Dyke, and Mel Brooks across the 100th birthday finish line!
But this account isn't a bot -- it's time for me to take a break, in part because we don't have anyone who's highly famous at age 99.
Clint Eastwood and William Shatner are on the horizon at 96 and 95, respectively, but until one of them gets to 99, this account will just have occasional updates about centenarian milestones.
Thanks for all your follows and likes!

John W. Weeks died 100 years ago today, and he has one of the largest headstones in Arlington National Cemetery.
In 1947 Arlington began requiring new cemetery sections to have only standard white marble stones, in part to preserve burial space from being over-consumed.
John W. Weeks, U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who served as Secretary of War from 1921 to 1925, dies at his summer home in Lancaster, New Hampshire. He was 66.
