My 20000 Day Checkup!

I went to the doctor last week. I jokingly told people it was my 20000 day checkup. You can figure out about how old I am! (If you’re really curious, 20000 is a rounded number–it’s really almost 22000 days.)

Nothing out of the ordinary. I watched the doctor write on my chart–well man. I presume that it an adjective and a noun–an indication that all is well and that I am healthy.

Perhaps it would have been better if he had written “healthy man.” Consider all of the ways you can punctuate and accent “well man.” Maybe well is an interjection, as in “Well, the news is not good.” Maybe man is an interjection. Maybe both are interjections.

No desire to ponder those possiblities too long. A few weeks ago, a good friend and I shared coffee and he told me he thought I had another good 20 years in me (another 7300 days more or less). Wow! 30000 days of serving God and glorifying him. What a privilege. What a blessing!
