My friend Joel, who I've known for 25+ years, called me today to tell me that a friend & business partner of his died suddenly over the weekend from an apparent heart attack, at the age of 54. He had not been feeling up to snuff for a few weeks but refused to see a doctor.

What is it with men and doctors?!!!? Are you squeamish about being naked, or getting poked and prodded in private places by a stranger? Is it really worse than being dead? Don't you love the people in your lives enough to take care of yourselves? Don't you love yourselves enough?

Just curious.
