Y'know, I keep living my life in the constant expectation that things will end. As I type, I'm wondering when the power will shut off. Not that there's any particular reason for the power to shut off today, mind you, but the lines are old, wind might blow down tree branches, and you never know what the day will bring.

Along with the power, I'm expecting my hearing to fade, my vision to darken, and, of course, people all around me to die. This stuff isn't particularly close to the surface of my mind, most days, but today I'm realizing that it's never entirely gone either. No wonder I keep my muscles so tense all the time.

It wasn't until very recently that I found out the true origin of the term "Memento Mori", and it has been cropping up in my brain ever since, sometimes at very odd moments indeed. Morbidity and mortality. Fun stuff.

Fun stuff indeed--for certain values of "fun."
