icarusIt occurs to me that my birthday is coming soon.
It occurs to me that I'm coming up on 40.
It occurs to me that if I live till I'm 80, that's the half-way point.
It occurs to me that my dad's health issues started when he was in his early 60s.
So it occurs to me that I really, conservatively, have 25 years left where I can (hopefully) function as I do now. (Yes, I know many spry people in their 70s and 80s and my grandfather was one of them, though he was an early health nut and took better care of his body than I have.)
Hmm.
