My
father died 28 years ago today, killed by his second heart attack. Because I
was born on his 28th birthday, today I am exactly his age at his death.
It's strange to think that, tomorrow and forever
afterward, I will be older than my father. I'm exploring uncharted lands.
I figure my genes have gotten me this far. To the
extent my lifespan exceeds today, I count that a dividend of all my conscious
choices for careful eating, weight control, exercise, and stress management.
I plan to enjoy it.
Thanks for all your work on librivox! I have enjoyed many of your works!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas
Good health to you and your loved ones!
ReplyDeleteIn 2008 I got my first mp3 player, as a christmas gift from the office. An outdated and simple device, but I liked it.
With it I discovered the joy of old radio plays and the audio books of librivox. Some of the readers, like you and Mark Nelson, really stand out. It is a pleasure to listen to.
I still use that mp3 player today! It's kept together with cellotape and currently loaded with some episodes from The Mysterious Island.
Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!
(btw, yes, my name really is Mark)
