Doomsday.

Betcha weren't expecting that!

The occasion is, today I officially reached age 72 years. For some 
reason at age 10 or 12, I became convinced that I would live to age 72. 
Now, when I was 10 or 12, life expectancy was something like age 68. So 
72 seemed like a derring-do. Progress; Roosevelt was president and all 
things were possible. But, for reasons I can't explain, age 72 has now 
become some sort of end game in my mind. I have the distinct feeling 
that it's all borrowed time from here on out.
