| I had a psychic grab my hand and tell me, "I'm not supposed to do this, but you need to know this. You will live to be an old woman." I asked, (in my mind) "How old is old? She immediately squeezed my hand hard, and said, "OK, 82? All right?" I looked her in the eye and wondered if I had spent $10 on a bogus skam, or if she was telling me the truth. I still don't know, of course. But, if she was right, I have 29 years left. I used my calculator to figure out exactly how long that is, by measuring 29 years of my life, and where I was 29 years ago, and what had happened to me since then. In one way, that was a long time ago! In another, man----just 29 years? Twenty-nine more summers, Christmases, birthdays, 4th's of July....doesn't sound good.... I don't want to know if she was wrong....and I don't want to know if she was right...... Too scary either way..... But I like the long view the best...alot did happen to me in a span of 29 years |
