Day Number 13879

so, i'm 38 today.

over halfway to 73. i will live, on average, a little longer again as long as i have lived so far. but let's be honest, up until now has been as long as it has been.

am i getting older?

i'm closer to 40 than i am to 30. and 40 is an even number. i've never really cared about aging. i mean you only have two choices in the matter. either you do or you're dead. but 40 is a little like strawberries. maybe it wouldn't be if it weren't a...a...wait a minute...if it wasn't a number.

i used to know the word for that, for what 40 is relative to strawberries. looks like the boat is full. i never used to remember words or names or faces.

maybe i am getting old.(er).

err...wait....didn't I read a post like this not so long ago?

Happy Birthday Phil. You're still a spring chicken.....and hot.

Hang on....didn't I say that not so long ago?

Here's what I think. The very second after you turn 50 you are closer to 100 than you are to birth. eeeeekkkkkk!!!!!!

Happy birthday.

Are you sure you are going to live? I mean, sure - barring accident your expected lifespan is predictable, but to assert how long one "will" live is a bit presumptuous.

You are getting older. Here is a song for you, then.

I had a dream about you last night. You were trying to tell me about your fingers but I wasn't taking any notice of you so you gave up and went away. Then it occurred to me that what you were trying to tell me was vitally important and I needed to help you, only I couldn't because I didn't know how to find you.
Odd.
Anyway, take care of your phalanges, OK.
