210 Days to Go

     Most people would have started this kind of blog a year or two ago.  Not me! I started it because my wife suggested that I should write something which might eventually be seen by the write or right people. Let me explain about this thing called 'The Right People.' I would love to be discovered by a hungry literary agent or publisher.  That's what I mean by the Write People.  Yes, I know what I wrote. And yes, I should have written right but I chose to right write.  It is my blog, Right?
 
     As most of you already know,  I love to write.  Writing is a wonderful escape from this world I call reality.

     I can become anyone I want or dream of.  No, I don't want to be a knockout gorgeous blond with the IQ of a rocket scientist. If being the blond means I can have more hair than I have now and a really flat stomach, then I'm your man.  And you thought I was talking of having a sex change operation, didn't you?  I know you. You can't hide that smirk.  Go ahead and laugh.  No one cares.
 
     So here I am, talking about getting to the ripe old age of Sixty.  This aging thing is not new.  Lots of people have become sixty and older.  Well, I plan on making it to sixty and beyond.  I don't have a magic ball which says that I will have a birthday on 8.04.2010.  I'm just going to try to make it, that's all!
   
     There is an ad on the web which says something like this: If you were to die tomorrow, would your loved ones get all the money you have in the Cayman Islands?
 
     Well, I say, if given the choice of dying today or tomorrow, I choose not to die! The copy was written by an insurance company and they should know a thing or two about dying, shouldn't they?  Imagine if we all were given the option of not dying? Would the insurance companies complain that no one was dying and they were very upset that they did not have to pay out  any money?  Or would they just be quiet and not say  a word?
   
     When has an insurance company not complained about not getting enough money?
   
     So I say to everyone who is approaching sixty, don't die today, or tomorrow.  Stay healthy, eat well, exercise often and make sure you thumb your nose at the insurance company. The longer you live, the more money your significant other will have when you actually kick the bucket.
