I
have witnessed a fair bit in this
life
of mine even though all of
us
have only a certain given
amount
of time. Lucky or for-
tunate
I suppose I am to have
managed
nearly seventy-two
years
roaming from place to
place
around this Earth of ours
to
which I have been bound.
Gravity,
has kept me grounded
here
as the laws of physics have
rigidly
applied throughout my
lifetime.
There is one thing which
I
have thus far missed and would
surely
now rank as numero uno
on
my Bucket List—the discovery
of
intelligent life elsewhere in the
Universe.
Not only to find that we
here
on our lovely planet are not
alone,
but to be able to share
and
compare our life’s experience
with
others from afar, I mean distant
folks
from way out there among some
other
far-flung star. I might tell them
of
my plans today—chili I handmade
myself
for dinner tonight. (I like mine
moderately
hot with a bit of a bite.)
And,
then there is a championship
football
game with the hometown
team
playing on TV. (Go, Chiefs!) Do
you
have similar dishes and activities
with
which to relate, I would want to
know?
In any case, since you have
traveled
some distance to get here,
pull
up a chair and sit a spell. Tell me
what
you like to eat? And what’s the
name
of your favorite hometown team?
Huh,
the Cleveland Browns? Damn, you
get
their broadcast way out there? Oh,
why
of course... excuse me for my
stupidity...surely
with such an advanced
society
which got you here, you too must
have
cable TV.
