One of my old hunting and fishing buddies, in response to a complaint I made about the process of aging, just sent me this little gem which deserves to be shared:
[size=10]Life should not be a solemn journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body but rather a riotous adventure pursued with the intention of skidding sideways into that great beyond, body and mind thoroughly used and exhausted, a strong drink in one hand, a fine cigar in the other, and only enough residual strength to shout, "Thank You, Lord, what a ride!"
