Inspiring Couple

Ready for an uplifting story? Kate Linthicum of the Los Angeles Times writes about a couple that has been married or 72 years, and are becoming an viral sensation. Barbara "Cutie" Cooper is 93 and Harry "PopPop" Cooper is 98, and they inspired their grandchildren to tell the world about them.

The-OGs.com — short for Original Grandparents — has its own theme song (lyrics: "Oh wow, oh gee, it's the OGs!") and a handful of regular video features. In "PopPop's Adventure Corner," viewers look on as he discovers modern marvels like the iPod (He calls it his "music box.") In "Ask Grandma Anything," they get style advice from Cutie, a bold fashionista who was recently kicked out of the dining room at the couple's retirement home for wearing leggings that were, Kim admits, "too sexy."
Here is no doubt some of secret of their success:

At Hollenbeck Palms nursing home in Boyle Heights, they still sleep in the same twin bed and kiss more often than teenagers.

"If I walk by, he kisses me," Cutie says. "We kiss when we say hello, goodbye, when we're going to bed and waking up."
Good for them. Read the whole thing.
