Today is the 48th anniversary of the birth of our oldest child. The little girl born that day has now been married for more than a quarter century herself. She is the mother of two and the grandmother of three. Time keeps rolling along. I am getting near the Biblical three score and ten. But these days, five score is getting to be rather ordinary. They say the universe is about 13 billion years old and that humans are something like 200,000 years old. But it is all relative, isn't it?
Last night we heard of a college student who complained that an "old guy" wouldn't pay for the painting job. How old was he? 27.
Much advice today points at enjoying the present moment for all it is worth. Still, looking back and looking ahead is part of being human. It is fun to consider the markers as we pass them.
