While driving home from
my cabin yesterday, I thought about my time thus far. I have reached slightly beyond the age of
60. Put in perspective, I have seen the occurrence
of two full human generations. 738
generations of houseflies have set forth in my lifetime. A total of 12 men have walked on the Moon.
I have been subjected to
living with seven housecats.
I have witnessed the rise
and fall of one Robin Williams.
According to most
estimates, I am currently livening with well more than 30,000 John Smiths here
in the United States. The average John
Smith has a life expectancy something near 460 times longer than your average
mosquito.
As I finish this blog, I am
drinking my third cup of coffee, which, according to at least one study,
reduces my chances of developing cirrhosis by 20 percent.
