I realize you like comparisons of this kind, but sometimes such
reminders aren't really necessary.

I realize what Keith meant, but "birthdate" would've been more
accurate. My birthday is June 6th, it recurs every year, and next
summer (if I'm still alive) I'll turn 80. Holy Cat.

I do not expect to see the 22nd century.

Well, *I* don't need to be reminded. Yet. My maternal
grandfather lived to be ninety, but he was rather gaga before
that age. My mother also lived to be ninety, but she didn't go
gaga. Just crabby.

I'm already crabby. If I can live to be 90 with a crabby but clear mind,
I'll consider that a reasonable outcome.
