He (my English-challenged friend, whose name, by the way, is Ed) really is an interesting person. Here is a longer excerpt from our conversation:

Ed says: Would you like to live forever and never get old?

Kathryn says: I don't think so. I would be too sad when all my friends began to get old and I was left behind.

Ed says: That is true.

But you would try everything in this world and you would be such a wise person.

Ed says: How old is your body?

Kathryn says: 25.

Kathryn says: How old are you?

Ed says: How old is your soul? :)
