Doing household tasks, I heard some of an interview with Michael Douglas, who if I got the story correctly, was receiving a life achievement award at The Golden Globes, and in the course of the interview he said his dad, Kirk Douglas, is now 102 years old. To be honest, I didn't know Kirk Douglas was still alive, though I knew he was very long-lived. What can I say but wow. Success and financial security have conferred their blessings.
