The older I get the more I embrace that philosophy.  A friend told a story
about going to the old folks home to visit.  An old man sat staring out the
window smiling.  Very content.  My friend chatted with him a bit.  As it
turned out the old man had done it all during the course of his life and had
no regrets.  He sat smiling thinking of all the good times he had had.
Lucky guy.  Time for me to build that surf boat Shawn.
