and then you die.

My little sister's husband Tom, (funny how a 40-something woman is still my
"little" sister), and my dad were both diagnosed with terminal cancer on the
same day. How's that for stranger than fiction ? Dad died twelve days later
and that was merciful compared to what Tom went through these last months.

Enjoy yourself, boyos, it's later than you think.

Sorry for your loss, Ken.

You're soooooo right - live each day fully.

i have long felt that one must find a balance between doing most of the
things that one Should , doing some of the things that one Shouldn't , and
squeezing every drop of pleasure possible from all the rest. sounds like a
bad bumper sticker- i know- but it has worked for me...........

whaddaya know, uncle wayno, much of my success at satsifyingt the above
stated philosophy occurs after 5:00 as well, although i can't boast fluency
in a foreign language as a result SEG

Thanks to you and to all who've expressed condolences here and in
email.

I sure hope so. How could I, in all good conscience, miss an event
called CACA ? ;-)

And all this time I thought it was the midwestern accent and the

My condolences to you and your sister, Ken.

Very true. Recent experiences in my family have brought me around to this
mindset.
