According to all those charts and graphs we like to concoct, the life expectancy for an average American man is 76.5 years. Of course, this means there are lots of people who will live longer, and lots who will live less. Averages work like that. Since I will be turning 76 tomorrow, the number takes on a special significance. Taken literally, it means I won’t see 2027. Which means I won’t get to celebrate the publication of ELSEWHEN volumes 2 and 3. Bummer. It puts me in mind of anniversaries I have contemplated from time to time. Like, if I make it to 89 I will get to see the 100th anniversary of Superman. (Will the New York Times want to interview me?) Also the Centennial of the beginning of World War Two. (Oh, catch up, America!) Big question, tho, if I make it past 76.5, do I get to join the Challengers of the Unknown?
