It’s Official: I’m a LOSER!

Yeah, thats what I need.
I went to the Museum of Conceptual Art site and entered my age, 38 to find out what some famous people had done at age 38. I was pleasantly surprised.
At age 38:
Dian Fossey became the first primatologist to be accepted by mountain gorillas in their natural environment.
** I am on the verge of being rejected by my 12 year-old twin daughters. Perhaps I should return them to their natural environment?
French physician Rene Theophile Hyacinthe Laennec invented the stethoscope as a way to avoid having to place the physician’s ear to the female patient’s breast.
** Especially with the surge in men claiming to be physicians!
James Marshall discovered gold in California.
** Thus ensuring The Gatlin Brothers of their first Gold Record. And a nifty name for the NFL franchise in San Francisco.
Apollo 11 commander Neil Armstrong became the first person to set foot on the moon.
** Some days, I can barely make one small step to the bathroom without being over run by my daughters, “Daddy PLEASE! I trying to do my hair!”.
Roz Savage rowed solo across the Atlantic Ocean, leaving behind a marriage, a job, a home, and a little red sports car. This adventure was inspired by a writing exercise in which she wrote two versions of her obituary: one in which she had lived a conventional life, and another in which she had lived the life she wanted to have.
** Now that is something worth a second thought. I’ve heard that a good way to motivate yourself is to write your own obituary. I wonder if she got her sports car back?
Stay tuned.
