A NewPointer approached me after the Swiss Festival parade today and told me that "after this conversation, I'm never talking to you again."
"What'd I do?," I asked.
He said, "I went to the Death Clock thing you showed us on Sunday and it said that I'm going to die THIS JANUARY!" (and this was a relatively young dude I was talking to).
So how'd I handle this situation?
I told him to go Google some other death calculators and maybe he'd find one that's gonna let him live a little longer. But in the meantime, take this recommendation from The Shawshank Redemption: Either get busy livin' or get busy dyin'.
I also told him that we'd keep things a "little brighter" at church tomorrow. See you there!

Too funny, well maybe not to the guy, but I must admit, I haven't done the death clock thing. I'm just not interested. I'm livin' and focusing on that. I figure that my death is already taken care of.
