impending




 
i turn 60 two weeks from today.
i slide between amusement and dismay.
i did not expect to live this long,
i have but few words left for this song.
i turn 60 two weeks from today.


If I knew I was going to live this long, 
I'd have taken better care of myself.
  Mickey Mantle

Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
Seneca

Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
