Listening to "The Parable of the Sower" by Octavia Butler, 1993.

Disturbingly prescient.

Maybe I should rewatch "V For Vendetta."

I don't believe in The Rapture, but if you sincerely believe that you are on the list I am certain that your pride will ensure you are left behind.

Simple Goals At My Age

Upon re-evaluating my priorities -- and taking into account all the things I can not control -- I have set my new goals as:

(1). Avoiding a dowager hump
(2). Getting up from the floor no hands
(3). Keeping body, mind & soul nourished.

Benign & simplistic. I'm old.

My 99 year old mother probably can't find her marriage license from 75 years ago. I'm not sure she can lay hands on a birth certificate from nearly a century ago. This is ridiculous.
