No reverie, however. After all, as most pundits would have it, life began just six months ago!
A fair bit of solace and hope did I find only a minute ago, buried in the humorous rantings of an old friend from college days – “friend” say I because my nose passed many an hour buried in his books, tho the writer himself had long since passed to dust – Mr. Robert Benchley. In an essay, Benchley once observed:
“Just think of all the things you can do after 40! Professor Webster was 57 when he cut up Dr. Parkman and threw him into the furnace of the Harvard Medical School, and Dr. Parkman was 70 himself!”

So this, then, is what I have to look forward to? Egads!! Thanks, Bob... thanks a lot!
