There are a few mudcatters besides me who are aware that it only gets worse! And better. Worse, because 'time' ceases to have relevance- it's the old icecube sputtering on the hot stove top syndrome. Turn around- and it happened last month. Turn around again, and it's been 10 years. And also better, because one is continually reminded that this is just the way it is, the natural way to get us ready to leave this earth...

I read something once where the writer said, "If you can't believe you're someday going to die, go to your box of photos and get two pictures: one of you that was taken 20 years ago, and another picture taken 10 years ago. Take a good look at them. Now go to the mirror- can you still tell yourself that you are not going to die?
