MG, I really do try to keep all this BS in perspective, and always have!!!

Yes, this computer screen absorbs as much of my life as umpiring some hundred or so little league games did a few short years ago. And, yes, these rose colored glasses made it real tough to do that. And, yes, I do miss some 600 or more kids calling my name, Berney; never Mr. O'Rourke.

The point being that I recognize that whatever I do, I will enjoy the trip. While I really do not have much in the way of material wealth, (Damn little actually) I really don't have a problem with it. What seems like many years ago, my sister-in-law was awe struck that a client had some $600,000 on a W2. I indicated to her that I had never explained the rule of 5%. Of course, she asked, what I meant. I indicated that no matter what you made, it was my experience that you would spend 5% more. About the only choice we maintained was the location in which this happened.

As in any other game, the dollars only keep score. I have not even had health insurance in 4 years, and have not needed it. It is only the game that is of any importance. Further, the game is only important as long as we understand (from my altar boy days): Ashes to ashes and dust to dust; remember man that thou are dust and into dust thou shall return. There is, indeed, a reason that hearses don't have luggage racks!!

This as heavy as I want to get into tonight.
