About

I was born at a very early age – but as time passed I got older.

I am a fully-qualified curmudgeon.

I once calculated the first moment of inertia of a newborn kitten.

I am capable of completely ignoring tall buildings with only a passing glance.

Ask me about nose-hair braiding!

OK – how about:

I was born healthy and whole to loving but all-too-human parents.

I grew and matured. I studied. I learned. I graduated. I was found to be useful. I was well-paid.

I lived a life, mastered a career, contributed to my society to the extent I could, Gave as good as I got, and have no living enemies of which I am aware.

I don’t think I was ever hated, but I suspect I was envied several times.

I know I was loved. For sure.

I believe I still am.

I never married, nor did I (knowingly) ever reproduce. Came close once or twice, though. I don’t regret not doing so.

I’ve lost both parents and a younger brother within the last six years.

I suspect I am the luckiest man alive, because so very, very often throughout my whole life – from childhood to old age …

I did it my way!
