A Matter of Age


I’ll think of someone famous


or see them on TV. Some are


still alive, others are deceased.


Curiously, I will ofttimes ask


Alexa, how old is so-and-so,


how old did they live to be?


On a Netflix Comedy Special


the other day I saw Ellen De


Generes. How old is she?


And the answer was 66


years. Damn! I said out loud.


I’m nearly 77. How in the


friggin’ bloody world can


that possibly be? Ellen looks


pretty good for 66-years old.


77-years has taken its toll


on me. Sorry to say, I make


those comparisons a lot


these days. Suppose I


should consider myself


lucky being able to ask.
