60 Something and Reflective

I have a Blog! It wasn't so very long ago that I didn't even know what a blog was or it's intended purpose. I am in the process of learning a new vocabulary such as micro blogging and disambiguation. Wow! I can't believe that I have waited 60 years to blog...but of course, I have waited 60 years to do several other important things like skydiving or spend 6 months on a fishing boat off the coast of Alaska. So maybe blogging is a good place to start.

As I welcome in 2010, I am painfully reminded that as of today I have lived 22,940 days. If I live until my birthday of my 72nd year, I will have lived a total of 26,277 days. So through a very complicated mathematical formulation I have deducted that I have a mere 3,337 days left.

This one-sided tilt of the scales is undeniably validated when I look in the mirror and I no longer recognize the reflection looking back at me. I scream, "Danger, danger - stranger, stranger." But the wrinkled, sagging, greying around the edges reflection smiles back with a knowing grin that softly whispers, "The joke's on you."

So look for future blogs of learning's, random thoughts and snippets of wisdom. I will be ever mindful that I do not want to be fired, shunned or excommunicated, at least for another 802 days.

Future installments will include: "60 Something and Aging, 60 Something and Stuffed" and my best work ever, "60 Something and Pissed."
