Even a memorial service doesn’t really dampen the day. After all, we are old. And we do die. One of the guest of honor’s children seems to have a worldview similar to my own. We might all be NPCs in a computer game.
Working my way through my own mortality. A new guideline.
Learning to be old – Use up the good stuff.
I have this jacket. It predates Carlton. and he dates from 1978. So, it’s old.
I bet I haven’t worn this jacket 50 times in as many years. Why not? Because, something might happen to it. Well, it’s time to wear it, don’t you think? Maybe wear it once a week. Just because. Use up the good stuff.
Thought I made 20 boxes today, but I seem to have only made 17. Better make 3 more. Just because.
I should start to think about my little trip. At least be sure that a have a good supply of Dramamine.
