Age is Just a Number

That may be so, but there's a lot fewer prime numbers (years) as one ages. Here are the 25 prime numbers between 1 and 100:

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97

Notice a pattern? I do. Twenty-one of those numbers fall below my age. I may be overreacting but do I really only have, at most, 4 more prime years left? Or maybe I should embrace a "Your best years are ahead of you" attitude. Does anyone my age believe that?

Observing this distribution of primes, I realize that the saying 'struck down in the prime of one's life' must mean dying before 20. There are 8 prime numbers between 0 and 20. No other 20 year span contains more than 5 (20-40 has 4; 40-60 has 5; 60-80 has 5; 80-100 contains only 3).

Oddly enough, I'm writing this on February 13th, which is surely a prime day, being the eve of my 40th wedding anniversary.
