Half my life.
The shortness of life can neither dissuade us from its pleasures, nor console us for its pains.
A few days ago, Jim
posted about the age of
his .emacs file. That got me to thinking: how old is mine? A moment
of mental arithmetic later, I worked out that my .emacs file is 25
years old this year.
I have been using Emacs for ½ of my life.
Other relationships I’ve had at least that long: my parents and this spider plant.

Spider plant
I got the spider plant in Cheyenne, WY circa 1976 where I’m pretty sure I lived in that house.
