Damon says wine is good for you. So maybe there's hope.

We're all just getting to an age where we know (or know of) more and more dead people. so it goes

I wonder if Retha will sing at his services...

That'd be a great way to leave.

Hearing about anyone in their 90's passing is sad, but what shakes me up is when folks I went to school with die. There have been so many in just the past four years since I moved to S.D. Just last week we lost another one. Yeah, it makes me feel old, but it also makes me want to wring every bit of enjoyment out of the time I have left...so today, I'm going to play my banjo!

Yep, I've got that, and I'm afraid there's no cure!
