I am 35 years and 158 days old today. According to this little gem I can find out who I have outlived or half outlived. In another 35 years and 158 days, I will have lived exactly as long as Buffalo Bill Cody. Which gives me the perfect excuse to publish one of my very favourite poems by e.e. cummings.
A few years ago, back in New Zealand, the rather gorgeous John Campbell read this poem on his Saturday morning radio show. And my heart skipped a beat.

I like Cummings too but not much of a John Campbell fan ;-)Check out my latest post I have shared a sisterhood award with you.
I have had an (apparently) ‘unhealthy’ crush on John Campbell for years. And now he twitters so I can follow his EVERY movement.
