Yep -- life sucks and then you die. Actually the times that I do that are usually a good thing -- time to figure out where you are at and what you are going to do to get to where you want to be. Do you know where you want to be?

I've always said , a man's true wealth is not who dies with the most toys wins , you are still dead.
A man's or woman's true wealth is how many people show up for their funeral.

I get less tolerant of people by the day so I guess it's a blessing there is an end in sight.

you are still dead at the funeral ,but with more people who say good things about you to your family they are more comforted

was at my aunts memorial service yesterday good turn out of people

my uncle is Scottish, the Minister was a Scott and wore his kilt and played the bag pipes , some of her friends from high school played on their guitars Pink Floyd's , so you think you can tell.

they were class of 75

not sure exactly what Rex is dealing with right now but I have reached the point where the kids are adults and I look back at the last 25 year and say shoot that when fast.

I am 22 years younger than my parents so I get a very good look at what things look like in 22 more years health wise

Just be glad you're in America. It's still the best place to be.

I like that line in the Randy Travis song - 3 wooden crosses.

Anyone else at that point in life where, you're getting things done and projects completed. Stuff you want done a certain way, and you understand why, but cannot explain to others. Then avoiding the hiring of others. Because you know 10 to 15 years you're not going to be able to do it yourself. The thought of unfinished work left for others just bothers me.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!
