As someone of a certain age who’s spent a ridiculous amount of time in doctors’ offices recently, it’s hard not to wonder how — or even if — I’ll be remembered.
A plaque on the Susan B. Morgan Memorial Washing Machine reads,"I'll remember you, if you remember me." Home alone, washing a “quick” load of sheets that flopped listlessly back and forth in the drum like a hooked trout for more than three hours, I suspected the machine was done for.
To assuage my guilt for breaking it and to thank them for their kind hospitality of late, I offered to buy the new machine. They picked one out, I handed over my credit card, and something I have absolutely no idea how to operate — and that resembles a space capsule — was installed. All well and good. Exactly how commerce and guilt should operate.
Am I the only one thinking about legacies these days? As someone of a certain age who’s spent a ridiculous amount of time in doctors’ offices recently, it’s hard not to wonder how — or even — I’ll be remembered when my time comes. What are other people my age doing about this? I don’t plan on crossing the Great Divide anytime soon, but it’s definitely too late to amass the millions I’d love to bequeath to the Anchorage Museum so I could maybe get a small gallery or modest hallway named after me.
