As children many of us liked to look forward and rush to get older.

According to family legends, some relatives take their sweet time coming to grips with their own denouement. Thus, I fully intend to enjoy my 'final arrangements'. I also plan to take note of those who did not attend for feeble reasons, and to haunt a specific male or two if they fail to throw themselves upon my casket in paroxisms of public grief. They had better be packing nice floral tributes, too. Mua ha ha...A sort of planned obsolescence that leaves all the final arrangements to those who are left.

Surely, it must be everyone's ambition to get older. I'm certainly not a fan of the alternative.
I work primarily with 20- and 30-somthings, who seem constantly to be bemoaning their advanced years. Pshaw, is my only reply to that.

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!!! What a ride!"
