:43:03
just me and my thoughts
knocking around
:43:12
I believe I mentioned
in my previous letter
:43:15
that I was an actuary
:43:17
in one of the
world insurance company
:43:20
" If I were given a man's age
race, profession"
:43:25
place of residence
:43:27
marital status and
medical history
:43:30
I can calculate
with great probability
:43:32
how long that man
will live
:43:37
In my own case
now that my wife has died
:43:40
there is 73% chance
I will die in 9 years
:43:46
provided that
I do not remarry
:43:52
all I know is
:43:54
I got to make best of
whatever time I have left
:44:00
" Life is short, Nçdugu"
:44:03
I can't afford
to waste another minute
:44:11
Two weeks later
:44:36
Life without Helen
has been quite a challenge
:44:44
but I think you'll be
proud of me
:44:46
"Yeah, this house is
now under new management"
:44:49
but you never know
the difference
:44:55
Sure sometimes I can be
tired and forgetful
