Actually, only 117 at the start of the year.

However, I do have plans for my 97th birthday. There's a total solar eclipse I want to see.

And I've told my sons they need to plan to be in DC for the Tricentennial (one will be a mere 93, the other only 89 and they come from people who live well into their 90s) and tell every single person they see that day, "Our parents were here 100 years ago today."

I've actually decided to be on the Mall on July 4, 2026 and tell everyone I was there 50 years earlier. I've told my sons they need to be there also.
