Celebrated Everywhere: Abq Jew here reminds his loyal readers (who, of course, do not need to be reminded) that it was just about eleven (11) years ago that Abq Jew turned 64 (see For Vera, Chuck & Dave).
Remembering that day and those years (but now only vaguely), Abq Jew might have planned to present an updated repeat of his now-classic August 6, 2015 blog post Those Were The Days.
Instead, as Abq Jew reflects on what he has (and has not yet) accomplished
during his 75 trips around the sun, he keeps in mind what his father,
Richard W Yellin, of blessed memory, would have said
today on his 101st birthday:
"When Mozart was your age,
he had been dead for 40 years."
Yes, time passes. Vera celebrated her Bat Mtzvah last Shabbat - and all four grandparents were privileged (Ken O'Hara) to participate. Along with plenty of other family and loads of friends.
As for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart -
he lived but 35 years, 10 months, and 9 days.
He was privileged to see 13,097 sunsets,
but not one of them in Rhode Island.
