I think of it as The Fool's Journey. I've been asked who the "fool" is. It's me, but in the classical sense of the court jester. Only the fool was allowed to tell the king of his follies.

This week's New Yorker magazine reports that a few years ago "the oldest person in the world, a hundred-and-fourteen-year-old Dutch woman, said she attributed her longevity to eating pickled herring every day." On the other hand, the magazine reports, "a hundred-and-fourteen-year-old woman from Texas attributed her long life to 'minding my own business.'"

Funny cartoon John... red herrings indeed! (((chuckles))) The case for longevity is subjective I guess... sometimes better the short life that burns bright than the long life unenlightened? Who knows.
As long as there is life, there is hope of achieving one's dreams. Age is in the mind set. Wow! those of words of wisdom (grin) good cartoon, John C.
