Saturday Night Genealogy Fun

Your mission, should you decide to accept it (cue the Mission Impossible! music) is to:
1)  Do you know how many days you have lived?  How many hours?  How many minutes?  How many seconds?  

2)  For this challenge – do some calculating.  Figure out how many days you’ve lived, how many hours, how many minutes, how many seconds (you can round off to account for the time you were born on your birth date – do you know it?).   Tell us your birth date, birth time (if you know it), and then calculate your time alive up until your birth time today.

NOTE:  If math befuddles you, use the Age Calculator at http://www-users.med.cornell.edu/~spon/picu/calc/agecalc.htm

3)  What does all of this mean to you?  Think about that marvelous “machine” inside your chest beating in rhythm.  Share your thoughts!  

First off, I cheated and used the web site.

Based on the dates, I am

• 69 years 5 months 2 days
• or 833 months 2 days
• or 3622 weeks 3 days
• or 25,357 days
• or 608,568 hours
• or 36,514,080 minutes
• or 2,190,844,800 seconds

Since I know that I was born at 7:05 a.m., I can add 12 hours to those totals.

• 69 years 5 months 2 days and 12 hours
• or 833 months 2 days and 12 hours
• or 3622 weeks 3 days and 12 hours
• or 25,357 days and 12 hours
• or 608,580 hours
• or 36,514,800 minutes
• or 2,190,888,000 seconds

With a normal heart rate somewhere between 60 and 100 beats per minute, that means my heart has beat over 2 billion times during my life.

According to several life expectancy tables, a female of my age is project to live until age 87. Since both of my grandmothers reached that age and my mother is still living at 91, I would say that such a projection is likely.

How about you? How old are you?
