The Theological, Philosophical, Sort Of, Benjamin Button?

Greece+Travel+Leisure, Facebook

























I am in no way claiming to look anything like Brad Pitt...

Never watched the film, just one of those movies I avoided sitting through when I visit Mom.:)

Paraphrased recent comments

A male barber of mine a few months ago:

'I think you look about 35'.

A fellow security officer about a month ago:

'I think you look in your early to mid-thirties'.

A security manager about a month ago:

'I think you look in your early to mid-thirties'.

A worker from another security company a couple of weeks ago:

'I think you are in your mid-thirties'.

A fellow security officer, commented in regard to my birthday:

'You look 32'.

Last night, a fellow security officer I was training:

'You look 32'.

For balance, my 'crazy ol' Mother'...the other day:

'You look the same age as Howard, who is bald and grey.'

My reply:

'Yea sure, Mom, that is why I have lurkers....'

Explanation for the theological Benjamin Button?

God's will, God's grace, genetics, avoiding nasty women, avoiding illegal and unnecessary drugs, avoiding the excessive use of alcohol, exercising regularly, not overeating, good nutrition, genetics, and finally over the last several years getting my sleep apnea largely overcome with medical assistance.

Even still I do not look like Brad Pitt, but a 32 year old bouncer.

Well, becoming anything like Benjamin Button is better than becoming like J.P. Patches.
