I am not afraid to die, I just don't want the long slow decline into a nursing home resident.

The man that started the company here did thing right. In his words he took "early retirement" at age 92. He only worked because he enjoyed it. Everything was long paid for and he had more money accumulated than his wife could ever spend. We could call him and ask the name of the plumber he used 20 years ago and he could rattle off the man's name and phone number. At age 98 he kissed his wife goodnight and walked upstairs to go to bed. She found him dead from a heart attack several hours later in the bedroom.

My FIL did it wrong. He slowly evaporated into a large infant with Alzheimer's, It was horrible to see a smart talented man turn into a infant that did not even know how to swallow. I would prefer euthanasia to that existence.

Doing the simple math and statistics I know if I make it another 25 years I will be older that the average lifespan of an American male. When I think I have been driving my same El Camino for 25 years it seems like just a couple of years ago. 25 years is a blink of the eye.
