95 today. If. But for. 95. Yet 56 is the reality number. 39 is the difference. 95 less 56 is 39. 39 years ago. How do you measure a person's life. Numbers, years or the space the person filled for the time the person was here. How was that space occupied. Family, friends, learning, sharing, fixing, reading, studying, growing, wondering, being present, finding joy in the quiet moments. A glass of wine, Perry Como singing It's Impossible, a pull over sweater, a pipe, Albert Einstein book of thoughts sitting on the chair, a page folded down at the part about time/space and relativity, and the two of us discussing the meaning of meaning. He would have been 95 today. 39 years ago he took leave. 56. It was a good time. An ageless experiment.
