Any of you oldtimers have some sage advice on this neverending quest to nowhere. And don't say 'stop to smell the roses'.

I was talking to a 79 year-old guy today . . . . "I have to be realistic, I probably have 10 years, tops, to live . . . . . " he said.

My elderly aunt died yesterday after a long and fruitful life of family, farm and God.

Time will pass whether you're wringing your hands or not, whether you're getting those "must do" things done or not, whether you're enjoying your family or not, whether you're seeing the world or not . . . . . the clock keeps ticking, the years go by faster.

Relax dude . . . . . stop and smell the roses.
