    “Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

          No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won’t hurt.

          Then the sound like someone dropped a heavy book.

        Didn’t he have terminal cancer, wanting to die his way and not wasting away from a horrible disease?

          I don’t believe so. He had a bunch of health problems- dealing with recovery from a broken back, hip, and also a lung infection. But I don’t think cancer was part of the equation, ttbomk
