Heh. Thanks. :-) No death wish here. I'm just not worried about it. I used to have a real fear of death (even to the point where it would keep me awake at night!) until I met someone who had some condition (I forget the name) where she could keal over at any time. She taught me that "you should treat death as a good close friend, because one day you'll both go on a long walk together." Odd as it sounds that did the trick. The only downside is that it made me a little morbid (in a good way). :-)
As for 77, its a great innings but I'd rather not get to the point where I'm losing it. I've seen it happen with my own grandfolks before they died, and thats the one thing that really does bother me.
Besides, you can't have a morbid interest in death without enjoying life. :-)
