You’ll be happy to know that it’s 3:47 pm. I’m 74.

Many moons ago, mom told me that I was born today at 10:00 am. That was in Toronto in Eastern Canada. Gent is six hours ahead. So … in eleven minutes I turn 75.

I’m smiling a lot right now. My face feels like breaking. That’s a long time to live! And to live happily. And to contribute to human beings. And to love music.

Did I mention that it’s 3:51? Well it is.

It’s a supreme countdown. It’s been a great life … so many chapters in so many places. So many friends. Jody. Rita. So many conversations. So many adventures. And a lot of coffee!

3:54. The smile won’t stop. And why should it? It’s been a journey and I know it will continue in my new hometown, and around the curve of the Earth.

3:56. I think I’ll tell my fingers to go still for a bit. See you in four minutes.
