If you intend to live forever, how are you doing?

In response to last week’s question, "If you intend to live forever, how are you doing?," my temple friend Richard observed, "On track so far, with no end in sight.  Of course, working 50 hours/week makes it seem longer anyway."   My dad's beach buddy Bob, who has made enough trips around the sun to retire, replied, "Got a pretty good jump on it so far."

And my equestrian friend Royce quoted "that great Greek philosopher, Zorba:" A man like me should live a 1000 years". I have 925 to go! "

One other thought: Every day I set another record for myself.

Please send me your thoughts about this week's "things that make you go 'Hmmm' “:

What does the speed in which a woman says "nothing" when asked "What's wrong?" indicate?

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"
