But wear your seatbelt anyway, eh?
A little less than 1 percent of us overall croak every year. The percentage progressively rises within the older age groups, of course.
A friend, a contemporary of mine, said she expects to take up skydiving and risky sex and other potentially deadly pastimes. No lingering in a nursing home bed for her, she says.
She says.
So far, she has yet to jump out of a plane. To the best of my knowledge, and that of her physically disabled (and medically fragile) husband, she has remained true unto him.
My guess is she will remain protective of her own life. I hope so. I like her, and I’ve already attended too many funerals.
