old, uncool and boring.

My pharmacist recently recommended Sennacot.

Life can be cruel.

It never stops. I see pictures of happy mostly young people in 1928 or so and think to myself that there all dead now, minus a child in there who may be around now at 100 or approaching it.

It seems I was 26 for a minute, same with the other younger ages.

The good news is I don’t appear to look my age yet, most people guess I’m 20 or so years younger than I am. That illusion won’t last though.

And my hero is that 117 year old woman, I believe in France, who got COVID and survived it, and when they showed video of her talking about it she was standing out in the rain, no crutches, no cane, and was obviously all there upstairs too. She could have passed for 60 or so. I believe the acknowledged record for oldest age achieved is 123, a couple of ladies made it, though there is a still unverified claim of a woman who lived to 127. Almost all of these super Centenarians are women so that works in my favor.

We will see and of course when you do check out, there’s the mystery of what happens then, if indeed anything does. I guess I’d be labeled as Agnostic.
