So, I may be off a year. But not really. Susan needs clarification.

My first entry was “Born” which was from birth until my first birthday.

So, the entry lableled 17 was from my 16th birthday until my 17th birthday. It is confusing because it looks like I would be 17 if the entry was called 17 but I was really 16. I should have made a year 0 or something.

Too late now. I’ll fix it somehow.

I stole the idea from Bonnie who in turn stole it from Cliff. You write an autobiography only using the number of words for the years alive you have been for that year.. Is that right? So my first entry shall be:

1
Born.

Lame, but what else is there to say. Pretty important event.

I hung out with Self-Help Susan tonight and as always, she is in the right place at the right time. We realized that we have known each other almost 20 years. Holy Crap. What happened to the cool kids we used to be back in the 1980’s? I need to go to bed but I had caffeine for the first time in weeks and I have been writing most of my 35 entries for Sum of All Years. I have a pretty fun life, I realize, looking back. I trust that the next 35 years will amuse me as much as the last 35. After that, we’ll have to play it by ear. Hopefully, I will have invented time travel by then.
