Wow, fancy use of the Time class and trying out timezone offsets! Also, I like how your my_age_in_seconds will update to the current time whenever this program is run.

Ruby allows you to do this neat thing with integers to make them more readable. If you want, try updating that giant number on line 12 to 1_136_086_041.6. The underscores take the place of commas, and make it easier for you / other devs to read giant nums.

Your variable names are very clear. Good work.
