A Life of 21,072 Days

My father lived a total of 21,072 days. As of today, I have now lived 21,072 days.

That’s 57 years, 8 months and 9 days.

I guess it’s only natural to want to contemplate my life and make the inevitable comparisons between my life and his. He had been retired for a year and a half when he died. I have not yet retired. Although, I’m contemplating a sort of semi-retirement in which I can devote my time completely to writing. He wrote a book and a half and read 1500 books. I have my first book coming out next week and have read only 1360 books.

Of course, I’m in excellent health, which my father hadn’t been over the last year or so of his life, so it looks as though I might get a little more time than my father had, but I’m looking at it as borrowed time from today on.
