28.

My friend John, whom I know from Saint John's College, told me that he saw his first lightning bug THIS YEAR. At age 28. To think a person went 28 years before seeing a firefly, to imagine the joy of seeing the simple beauty of the lightning bug for the first time as an adult, and to see it in such a lovely place as he: the Berkshires, the Berkshires in the summer, flashing.

Discovery is amazing.

If this is John "Mac Daddy" then I bet you he saw fire flies at drunken excursions to Jemez Springs....but he was too intoxicated and high on nakedness that he doesn't remember.
