Aging

Fifty-five years ago today, I was born on a cold January morning in Madison, Wisconsin.  My mother had finished the fall semester of teaching elementary school, and my father, a graduate student at the U. of Wisconsin, juggled the tasks of completing his dissertation and interviewing for jobs.

My maternal grandmother made the long trip from Texas to help my parents care for their first-born child.  Can you guess my grandmother's age at the time?  55!
