      Getting old is the point! Besides, who says you can't write the book, then decide to write a dozen new and different books? :-D

      Well, I still like the idea of living forever. But I guess I'll have to settle for wisdom. :-D

          Well, I don't know about living say after the planet has been destroyed. But, I wouldn't mind a run stretching a few thousand years or so. :-D

            Eight minutes before I'm 31. 31. Thirty One. Thirty was a an indication of getting on, but thirty one... It means that you've now been there done it, wrote the book. You have past it. Mate, you are old.!:(

                    Does this mean I clear my two marriages and divorces off my record because I wasn't sentient then?
