Somehow it just doesn’t seem possible … strange how your kids quickly become as old as you think you still are. But, time moves pretty relentlessly! We were invited to go down to Heather’s to help celebrate this milestone event and we had a very nice time. We had a grand time playing with grandkids and there certainly was no lack of food and laughter. Thanks, Heather for a very nice day. Fortunately for me, you don’t look like you’re forty … so I can still suggest that I can’t be old enough to have a forty year-old daughter (let alone a forty-two year-old son!).

I was reading online a while back about a study that said in a rather complicated way that in 1995 the probability of a person aged 60 living to be 90 years old had doubled in the twenty-five years since 1970. Then it had doubled again in the ten years from 1995 to 2005. I don’t remember what the probability numbers were, but I liked the direction they were going. Is this another type of a Moore’s Law? Right now 90 seems a long time away, but in reality it’s only half again as long as I’ve already lived. Maybe the odds are in my favor. Now let’s hope the quality of life is improving at the same rate.

Happy birthday, Heather. I took a few pictures and a few videos and posted them in my picture album.
