Interesting little observation of mine this morning.
I turned 76 today…thank you, thank you. Good wishes received and appreciated.
HOWEVER, as I flipped to the Isaak Asimov’s Super Quiz in the morning newspaper…my eyes flicked over to the obituary page where I saw a photo of this lovely looking woman…who was unfortunately now dead.
She was 72. My cup of coffee paused on its way to my mouth.
Then I glanced around…just very casually…nothing too deep here…and I discovered that there were about 3 or 4 other people…now dead…who were at least 4 or 5 years younger than me.
Jesus H. Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
Have a nice day…
P.S. I wonder what the “H” stands for in this time honored swear phrase. Henry? Horace? Holy? See? This is what happens when you age and approach death.
