I have just come back from being very bad.
You see, I took the 8 out into the backblocks & enjoyed myself.
I thundered around corners, power slid out of some of them, & would
you believe, I think I just may have exceeded the speed limit a
little, a couple of times. I can't think of a time I have enjoyed
the thing so much.
& why was I so bad, well, I was celebrating. In the biblical sense,
I have at last become average. I think it was there that I first
heard of three score years & ten being the alloted span for a man.
So that would be average then, & I have made it. It wouldn't be
until tomorrow, if there was a 29Th this year, but as there isn't
I'm claiming today for my 70Th birthday.
Now, if I can go out & do the same thing in another ten years, then
I'll reckon I've really made it, & won't be average any more.
