I turned ninety-nine
Just yesterday
One more year
And I'll be a hundred
I've got to make it
I've got to hang on
I'm almost there
I've got to keep on

I'll beat George Burns
I'll beat Grandma Moses
Outlast Irving Berlin
Outlive Kirk Douglas
A centenarian
Of worthy note
I'll live longer
Than Bob Hope

I'm gonna be
The last man standing
I'll bury them all
My contemporaries

I turned ninety-nine
Just yesterday
One more year
And I'll be a hundred
I've got my grave
Waiting for me
On the edge of town
Veterans cemetery

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
