Well, here I am in the waning of the year, and at 81 and a half, probably in the waning of a life.
Gosh! I got to work in the unmanned exploration of space, on missions to every planet but Mercury. The Voyagers I worked on have left the solar system and are still, the last I heard, sending back data. Meanwhile, I tried freelance programming for a while, then was a computer specialist for a growing insurance company til I retired. An interesting career.
I'm sitting in my bed this afternoon wondering if I accumulated any wisdom from it. Not unless it's the wisdom to claim none.
But it's been a good life. I'm glad I lived it. I don't think I harmed anyone, I may have done some good, and I helped us learn some intriguing facts.
More later.
