It's the high cost of living.

I read somewhere that the leading cause of death is birth.

That it does.

It will come with more frequency in your path.

Then it diminishes.

And that's nature's "white flag" waving on the last lap...

So, get in the lead and hold it while you can.

Near a time when I had loss of my own, I became aware of a line in the Indiana Jones series after Indy's father passes (Connery). The sidekick says to Indy something like..

"We're at the point in our lives when the Good Lord stops giving us things, and begins to take them away."

Had never even noted the line when watching the movie in the past, but now I'll always remember it. (misquoted or not. edits welcome)

Who cares. I'm going to a visitation Friday for an old acquaintance. I'll deal with it.

Like my mother did, I'm getting to an age, where I'm losing my friends. Men seem to have fewer close friends than women so it's tough, when you lose one and I've lost almost all of mine. I guess it beats them losing me but still tough.

I actually look forward to death. Death is life's way of telling you it's time for you to stop living.

Yes, often the death of someone we like or love is very inconvenient; there's never a good time for these things.

If I knew I was going to live forever in the state I'm in, I would just go ahead and kill myself.



"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Yep, you know it's for real. When you go to visit your friends. And they have turned to cold hard upright stone or flat metal plates planted in the green green grass.

At least once a year it seems I hear about another person I knew growing up, or had worked with has passed.

Frankly, I'm surprised I've outlived so many of them. Still, the Good Lord does seem to be "taking things away" as I age. Don't get me wrong, I'm still thrilled to be on this side of the sod!

The first research vessel crew I was captain over in the 1990's have all (8) died within the past 5 years of various causes, cancer being the most prevalent cause. It sucks.

My understanding is that it's Oxygen that actually kills us. We are addicted to a chemical that actually causes Rust to form in our blood and also causes all those nasty free radicals that slowly eat away at out insides.


I've stopped counting.
