We no longer subscribe to the local newspaper, but now and then I page through a copy of it at the library. It astonishes me to see how many people my age, and younger, are listed in the obituaries. My dad lived to be 99, so I tend to think I still have 30 years to go, myself. But there's no guarantee. Several of my high school classmate have died, and I ought not make assumptions about my own longevity. And yet I do.
