Laz, As you and I have discussed, many go to their final rewards while relaxing in their recliners in front of their TV sets or perhaps in their ergonomic steno chairs in front of their computers. Come to think of it, not an altogether bad way to shuffle on out, really. - Holly

No doubt many decisions in life could alter the timing of
your demise.

The point I wanted to make is that the more risk averse one
chooses to be may severely limit how much you get out of the
time you spend on this planet.

I'd much rather risk nixing several, perhaps many years from
my life & have experienced an abundance of exciting,
enjoyable & fulfilling activities. That sure trumps living a
few extra years of life avoiding all manner of perceived &
real risks while hunkering down in the false sense of safety
& security sitting in my recliner in front of a TV.

Now leave me alone. I'm watching a rerun of 'Lost' on ABC.
