This is the author&#x27;s last line:<p><i>Temporarily, though, I can say this: If you live in San Francisco, I&#x27;ve walked by your house.</i><p>Dunno if it&#x27;s just me, but that idea struck me as hilarious.<p>I&#x27;d like to think the author has wrestled with the valid points you&#x27;ve mentioned, and has concluded that the only thing you can do about the inevitable march of time is to laugh in its face :)
