HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
April 15, 2021

I celebrated my 75th birthday on April 15. These are some random thoughts inspired by this event:

  1. The bigger lies than the “Big Lie” are the lies we tell ourselves.

  2. The horizon appears ever closer; twenty-four hours pass quicker.

  3. What matters, matters less, and less matters.

  4. It’s a pity that drinking heavily has consequences.

  5. I shave the hairs on my nose once a week.

  6. The average 75 yr. old in excellent health has an optimal statistical risk factor of 17.4% of a heart incident.

  7. I am convinced there is nothing cute about a squirrel.

  8. Religion has always seemed useless to me. Now it appears downright dangerous.

  9. Our greatest vulnerabilities are the susceptibilities to the hurts of our past.

  10. If our home galaxy, the Milky Way, contains at least 100 billion stars, and the observable universe contains at least 100 billion galaxies…How much toilet paper is used daily?

  11. I used to ‘stop’ in order to slow down; now that I am slowing down I don’t like it one bit.

  12. Philosophy is simply a way of wasting time on “what if’s”.

  13. I used to look at my face in the mirror. My private excuse for sporting a beard is that I no longer have to do that as often.

  14. No doubt I am wiser…and nobody seems to care.

  15. I used to be attracted to women. Now, I am appreciative of women.
