It's always a bit of a shock glancing at the obituaries in the local paper and seeing someone you know staring out at you!! In this case, Randy Van Gottberg, my Palm Springs sign language tutor aged 53, suddenly and unexpectedly. I thought I hadn't seen him at the gym recently. Now I know why.

How about this in the same obits .... a lady aged 90...... "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, wine in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming Holy Mole what a ride!!!"
Amen to that!!!!!
