Instead of waiting until you are 100, travel with Rose and I to China, in July of 2009. You will see the longest eclipse this century at some 6 minutes 38 seconds duration. I was lucky, and saw the 1991 Eclipse in Baja, which was 6 min. 57 seconds... but one that long will not occur for another 450 years... so I am not going to hold my breath.
