Today is the fifth anniversary of my move from Boston to Los Angeles. The drive across the country took eight days. It is also my late father's 85th birthday. It is also the first anniversary of my daughter's return from the hospital (she was in the ICU for two weeks after her birth).As one gets older, it is inevitable that each day of the year will become more and more commemorative.
Rather than live in the past, I have decided to adopt the Plutonian calendar. A Pluto day is about six of ours, and it takes 248 terrestrial years for Pluto to make it around the sun. That way each day won't be so fraught with reflection.

Actually, if each Pluto day is worth six of ours, would that not mean that you would have six earth days worth of commemoration to handled within your one Pluto day? As time goes on and you have more items of significance occur, won't it be more difficult?

That's plenty of time to get back to Lowell for that dedication ceremony. (Oct. 16)
