Today, November 20, 2016, is my 59th birthday.
That means that,
as of today, I have survived:
59*365 days + 15
leap-days = 21550 days;
which equals
21550 * 24 =
517,200 hours
517,200 * 60 = 31,032,000 minutes
31,032,000 * 60 = 1,861,920,000
seconds.
One point eight six
gigaseconds old! Time sure flies.
I am having a super-minimalist
birthday today. I figure that I don’t have to do anything to turn 59, other
than survive the day, so I’m taking it easy. All I plan is to share a cake with
wife and daughter. (Maybe also take the cats to the vet to have their claws
trimmed.)
No big birthday
party; I hate the stress. Besides, I already had a small party with some
friends the previous day. I’d rather treat a birthday as a milestone rather
than as a deadline.
Next week we’ll
celebrate Thanksgiving at brother Marc’s. At my age I am happy to spread the
birthday out over days.
