One thing about being 55: at times I say to myself, "5 years ago I was 50" - and I feel elevated; other times I think to myself, "in 5 years I'll be 60." Thirty-five years ago I was 20, in 35 more years I'll be 90. 2050 - what a time that will be: vase galactic empires, computers the size of paramecia containing human consciousnesses and blotting out nebulae in vast swarms, the arrival of the eschaton - not as you think, but in the form of some unknown kindness.
