24. I wish!

Neither of my parents lived to be 80, and only one of my grandparents did.
The one that did, however, lived to be 102 with all his marbles intact.

My maternal grandfather sent out a Christmas card when he was age 99. It
had a photo of himself, looking very much his age, with the caption:

"COMPLIMENTS OF THE SEASONED"

He was absolutely one of the coolest humans I ever met. I could have used
a few more of his genes. As it is, I snuck away from a planned rendezvous
with the Grim Reaper 3 years ago, and I wonder if he's been looking for me
ever since?
