JARED’S HOMEWORK

Last night my 12-year-old grandson, Jared, called and asked if he could interview me. “Sure,” I said, “what’s the occasion?” He told me his teacher gave the class an assignment to ask people if they would like to live forever. In a heartbeat, I answered, “Yes.” Just that morning I thought about the amazing advances made by modern technology and I longingly wished to live another 50-100 years in order to see what incredible new inventions would enrich our lives in the future.

He also asked what age I would like to be. Again I quickly responded. “My 50’s.” I replied. By that time all the stresses of growing-up, raising a family, dealing with a career, etc. have past and the easy life of the golden years begins. Of course, I won’t live forever and I’ll never know what the future has in store. But if I’m really curious, I could probably just “google” it and get a clue.
