Sipping a glass of Salignac VS Cognac out of a small bottle purchased at Suzanne’s Liquor between South Pittsburg and Kimball, TN, on Saturday.

The world in motion flows.

The body in aging goes.

My godfather always told me, before memory loss took away his wisdom, it’s not what you know, it’s what you have on who you know.

Tonight, while transporting my 94-year young mother in-law from one place to another, a kind officer of the law, who also happens to be a close friend of the family, pulled me over for what appeared to be an expired licence tag.

Instead, Nathan discovered that his friends are my niece and nephew and I, the Forgetful Professor, the Reluctant Leader of Seven Billion, had shoved my licence renewal form in the glovebox along with the sticker that’s supposed to go on the car tag.

In the middle of traffic hour, I stepped out of the baby Bimmer, strolled to the back of the car and applied the sticker to the proper position after guidance from a uniformed friend of the family.

You see, that’s life.

All seven billion of us connected.

Changing.

In the middle of a major transformation.

Global Shock Doctrine 2.0.  The prototypes have been tested.  Time to roll out preproduction models.

And here I thought being childless meant I was worthless and easily forgotten.

I am, but that’s beside the point.

14,087 days to go.

Are you ready?

Thanks to Ida (a/k/a Wonder Woman) and her patient sidekick, Cord.

I wish I could get people to stop worrying about UFOs and focus on the task at hand.

Well, back to the future…

I hope the family of 1AUFN is all right.
