A significant matter looms on the horizon. Five days from now, the
7th of August, will be my birth day. Why this matter should be
significant is a mystery equivalent to the mystery of why there is
matter at all and whether we exist.
The more digits are added to
the number of years I've been on this planet, the more questions I have.
The question I have at this precise moment is:
Should I reveal the
exact number my day of birth signifies? If I do reveal this secret I
have closely guarded, will I get the tilt of the head, the indulgent
expression reserved for babies, kittens and the very old, accompanied by
exclamations of "Awww!" "Amazing!" "Well done!" and so on?
Because that possibility looms on the horizon, here is an advance warning.

I can't wait!
Finally, the most important question in the universe may be answered. Agog I am with great expectations.
What a youth culture we have become when someone as obviously lively as yourself considers that gasps will come at your revelation. As someone now seventy, who lived much of my early years in Greece with great aunts and great great aunts who talked with animation about current affairs just as much as of the 19th century (they probably didn't have much sex, though), my response might be 'Is that all?'
Curiosity has me agog too.
Bruce, wait and see.
Tom, likewise.
Olga, thanks for coming by here! We are what we are, age numbers don't count.
