Lynn's stepdad was a veteran of Patton's army in World War II. In his later years, he would snarl every now and then, "Golden years - HA!" I see so much optimism, cheeriness and smiles in ads and photos that it was a pleasure to read this comment today in "Man Overboard" by Craig Bowron, MD:

A friend responded to my report of Stephen Hawking's idea that artificial intelligence can be expected to make such a capable assistant that it will be like being two people: "I certainly don't need two of me. I can hardly stand one."
