I once had an exercise in a high-school English class to write my own obituary. Eschewing the easy route (“died horribly in a car crash after junior prom”), I actually spent some time thinking about what kind of mark I’d like to leave on the world. So far, at age 74, I’ve managed to do about a quarter of what youthful, naive me envisioned. Still time, tho. I continue to be on track to be the world’s oldest living human.
