The Drop Dead Years
Today is my birthday. Last week I was watching the Jimmy Kimmel program and when he asked his guest, the actor and comedian Bill Burr, about the name of his upcoming stand-up special, “The Drop Dead Years,” Burr explained: “I’m 56 years old, which is too young to die of natural causes but it’s not too young to drop dead.”
By the time you read this, I’ll be… pulling up to my destination. Every five years or so when your birthday lands on a Friday it should impart an extra sense of festiveness.
