Three Score and Twenty


It occurred to me the other day that I was nearly at my "3 score and ten". I got to figuring that with luck I'd make it to 3 score and twenty. Do the math. If 80 is the end point, then when you get to 70 you have already had seven eights of your life. Only one eighth to go. Eighty years has 4160 weeks or 29200 days. The ten years left have only 520 weeks or 3650 days. Damn, that doesn't look like much compared to the original total.

What this says to me is "GO FOR IT BABY" before all you can do is watch and wait.

Maybe I can squeeze out 3 score and 25. Now that would be a nice bonus.
