I liked the idea of living for a very, very long time when I was younger, but while I think an extra decade or two might be nice (assuming I am physically mobile and mentally alert), I would not like to live longer. There is a season for all things. It is frustrating to see that humanity in general does not seem to learn from past lessons. The college students I work with are bright, caring individuals and know practically nothing of the past. I like them, but have little in common with them which is probably how it should be. If I had to be stuck at one age I'd pick 36 though. I could still do cartwheels and lose weight easily! I certainly would not want to live if I had to "perform some vile act in order to NOT DIE" - I'd pick death in a minute unless it meant someone else I loved would have to step in and do it. Then I'd plan like crazy to get back at whoever came up with the stupid idea in the first place! Many good wishes for Mozart, and a great New Year for you all.
