Hump Day

That's right. Today was Wednesday.
Based on the weather there was a 60% chance of rain
in the afternoon. After consulting my friends Matt
and Reg I was convinced to bike to work anyways. It
started raining around 4 pm. Then stopped at 5:30.
Then started again at 6:15 as I was getting ready to
bike home. Then stopped after 8 pm well after I was
home. Nice. Common Sense 0. AJ 1. Way to over come
common sense. (you can't tell but I gave myself a
high five right there)
I took a short age expectancy quiz. Apparently people
who just have coffee for breakfast do more to shorten
their lives than those that eat no breakfast.
Anyways, my real age is 30 years old, my virtual age
is 24.8. I come ahead in that scale. The average life
expectancy for a male is 74, I can expect to live
till 79.2. It tells I have about 18,000 more days
left to live. I can deal with that. I'm thinking of
making a countdown.
I found the quiz
here.
I think I might go out and get a library card this
weekend. I was listening to NPR today and there was
an interview with the author of An American Gospel:
On Family, History, and the Kingdom of God. The
author wrote a book based around figures of literary
and american history that pertain to a modern
american perspective of religion. His whole point was
that he hated how many religions were fear based or
punitive; specifically certain takes of Christianity.
So he struck out to find his own take on religion and
wrote his book. The NPR interview is
here. The amazon link is
