Fiftystar: My 2018 Birthday Star

Posted on 12 January 2018 by RobertLovesPi

Every year, it is my tradition to make a star for my birthday. This is the one for today, with fifty points for my new age.

I like the view from age 50. I can see half-centuries before and after right now. To see 1968, I look into the past, which is behind me. If I look forward, I see ideas for what 2068 could be like.
