Dear Sillies,
I'm all about the number 6 these days. And 60, which is "historically significant as the foundation of the ancient Babylonian base-60 (sexagesimal) math system." Thanks Wikipedia.
Note the number of followers on my side-bar: 666. Whoa. Coincidence? I think not.
The reputation of 666 as the devil's number originates from the Book of Revelation (13:18) in the New Testament. Yay, I'm Jewish. I thus need not worry. I'm already going to hell, but I don't believe in hell. L'chaim!
I was born in 6/66. I'll turn 60 this weekend.
Anyway, it's felt difficult to see 60 approach with determination - try as I have to stave it off for another decade or so. But I'm proud of the life I've led thus far, and I'm semi-excited too to become a young-old gal. We've much life to live each day, so that's my plan. Chocolate and dancing included.
Proof that Michael Jordan and I are over 6' tall.

On a much more sober note, you might've heard on the news about a shooting spree at the Chico library--our city's most precious, docile space. We're devastated. Two men were killed, one in the process of protecting his friend's daughter. The shooter, an 18 year old, had graduated high school only two weeks ago. It's incomprehensible and very unusual in our small city. The community gathered at the library for a vigil tonight. Chico's resilient and caring; we'll persevere. But do send loving thoughts to all involved. Thank you kindly.
I love you, my dears.
Yeah, sixty threw me for a loop as well. No upside to getting older.
ReplyDeleteTerrible tragedy. What is wrong with today's youth? What is wrong with people in general? Too many unhappy people.
