I turned 38 a bit over a week ago. Also, I’m turning 20 million minutes old later this afternoon. I discovered this while building a spreadsheet that calculates my family members’ ages in days, hours, minutes, etc. It started out as a math thing with my 8 year olds. I could make your eyes glaze over with when various people are turning certain days/hours/minutes old, so I’ll pass on that. But it’s interesting to think about time and age in different units.
In other news, I’ve been appointed (pending receipt of the official notice) to my town’s Municipal Light Board, and a committee to figure out what to do with solar energy. I’m excited for both of these posts, as I’ll learn a ton, and will have a chance to help our town be more sustainable, cost-effectively. The solar project should be really interesting; the state solar incentive program has been tied up in a lawsuit which was just partially settled (at least the solar piece). So, it’s time to roll.
