I thought I was old when I turned 60. Getting my Golden Buckeye card from the state? THAT made it official!

Last day of work before I have some time off to prepare for my 6 month stint in the south Atlantic.
Hail to thyself
For I am my own master
I am my own god

Something I don't quite get about interpretations of the works of Samuel Beckett, is how they tend to focus on his being from Ireland, despite his having moved to France at a young age, where he would live the rest of his life, having served in the French Underground in WWII, wherein he really didn't get into serious writing until after the war, with the bulk of his works being geared towards post war German audiences...... :lookingup:

I think it's an Irish "diaspora" thing. If you come from a grief-haunted nation that's sent its best out into the world, leaving you with half the population you had two hundred years ago, you cling with a desperate, starved neediness to the achievements of those whose genetic origins lie within your country, wherever they went on to settle.

Beckett did have a line I've always liked: "...nothing is more real than nothing..."

I think there is an innate Irishness in a remark like that.
