To paraphrase Dylan Thomas, "Today is my sixty-ninth year to heaven." The beginning of my seventieth year. I am a war baby, not a baby boomer. Born during the nadir of the 20th century, I came of age during the affluent fifties. My life has been blessed with mostly good things. I have plenty of comforts; family, friends, love, and work. My mother is hosting my birthday lunch. My granddaughter will be there. Life is good. (Kinehora!)*
