But how are we going to become elders?
I mean, literally, I tell people, because it's true, my next major milestone is death.
How do I get there?
Well,
Now, part of that is, you know, I've had a lot of people.
My father died of suicide when I was nine.
So dealing with dead people has become important early on.
I lost my beloved wife, Claudia, to cancer five years ago.
Though, oddly enough, another compass meant this woman has decided to sign up for the program.
So I'm about to get married again.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Yes.
But, you know, it's a very steep learning curve.
You know, John O'Donohue, the old Celtic mystic, would say that marrying another person is moving to a foreign country.
Whole new culture, whole new language.
Or my friend Jerry's sister would say, philosophy prof, there are no second marriages.
There are only first marriages the second time around.
So I'm doing the first marriage the third time around.
And the learning curve is steep, which by the way is terrific.
