...and Prosper!

This thought is not original to me and I think I probably read it somewhere regarding the relative longevity of the human race.  With all the medical breakthroughs over the last century, or so, we have pretty much almost doubled our lifespans.  The quote that stuck with me is that it could be that children born today could live to be 150 years old.  I don’t think this is too far-fetched but might be stretching it a bit.  But a new thought (that is original to me) got placed in my brain by recent visitors who have a five year old daughter.  She was painfully shy and could hardly stand to look at me, but after their departure I had the thought that Jennifer could very possibly be around to experience the year 3000!  Of course you always have to consider what could befall anybody, meaning a major illness (most of which I think will be mostly under control in her lifetime) or accidents (or worse) which no one can predict.  In the year 3000 Jen will be 91 but I’m sure she won’t look a day over 65 and as lively and larky as she is now.  Happy New Year, cutie pie!
