SIXTY

sixty is the sum of a pair of twin primes (29 + 31), as well as the sum of four consecutive primes (11 + 13 + 17 + 19). it is adjacent to two prime numbers (59,61). it is also the smallest number which is the sum of two odd primes in 6 ways.

my dad would have been 60 years old today, so i would like to talk about what a prime individual he was.

every positive character trait that i feel i possess - i took from him. he taught me how to be an honest, caring, and good man, and to surround myself with honest, caring, good people. men like him are in short supply.

and sixty is also the number of seconds in a minute, and minutes in an hour. i cant help but think about all the time that has passed without him here. all the things that have happened. about how the time we have is so precious.

happy birthday dad.
