Opa’s e mail To His Grand Children

By 2040 you’ll be mothers and fathers as your fathers and mothers now are and your children as disobedient as you now are. 

It’s 2070. Have you ever imagined yourself as by that time you are as old as I am now?

Your grandchildren are as tall and strong as you are now. But that’s a long way off.

They welcome you: “Hi oma, Hello opa! We’re going to Paris shopping. Are you coming with us? Our class this semester will visit Mars.

”Sure, as I’m a scarecrow myself now and so you would. Ha, Ha.”

The Marathoner's Philosophy

Don’t be frustrated when others are running far before you.

It’s still a long way to the finish. Just keep your pace and you’ll catch up, perhaps overtake them.

Sure, we all still have a very long way, a life time to go. Ha, ha.
