Right, Kitty. In the parlance of the race track, it's a sucker's bet

Well, Jim, interest rates are low, so go ahead and
borrow!  Hope it was a great day and you experience
many more!

board told me age 35 was it for me.  Thankfully I've
made it a decade past that, so far, and still kicking)

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.
