Brilliant juxtaposition of two stories about getting older

Dear Washington Post
I know that your “Lede of the Week” weekly column is a chat-driven feature, but I have to tell SOMEONE at the Washington Post about the brilliant juxtaposition of two stories on my phone’s news feed tonight. 
First, I read “In ‘Nyad,’ Annette Bening and Jodie Foster shatter the limits of age.”

(Lede [that’s the first paragraph to you non-newspaper folks] There are two foes in the film “Nyad”: nature and age. It is no spoiler to say that Annette Bening and Jodie Foster achieve a conquest over those opponents, not in some trite, scripted or airbrushed way but with the sinews and cartilage of real athletes.”)
We just got back to Texas from a summer trying to escape the heat dome, which means it’s back to the gym for four months this winter. The story was an inspiration for this retiree.
Then, two spots down the feed on Saturday night, I found “It’s good to remember: We are all on borrowed time,” which is novelist Anne Lamott’s reflections on growing older. Also inspiring.

(“Getting older is almost like changing species, from cute middle-aged, white-tailed deer, to yak. We are both grass eaters, but that’s about the only similarity.”)
Did you guys plan it that way? Brilliant if you did, lucky if you didn’t.
