Continuing

I had the idea of moving the contents of this blog into a Word document, with the idea that it might be more accessible. I soon found out that it's no easier to scroll through a Word document than to scroll through a blog, and the latter doesn't take up space on my hard drive. So I'm sticking to this format, though I think I'll make my entries shorter, more casual.

I planned earlier to write a few notes on aging. The obvious one is that one spends more time reminiscing about the past than contemplating the future. I don't know if I do more of that; it seems to me that I always have been more concerned with the past than with the future. The future does, however, seem more blank to me now. Once, although unknown, it was a source of potential experience. Now, it is merely a journey toward oblivion. At some point, there is no future.
