I'm 50 should I be concerned?

"The longer I live the more beautiful life becomes".
-Frank Lloyd Wright

OK this is getting to be a little disconcerting. First Michael Jackson dies age 50, this morning pitchman Billy Mays passes on age 50. Now I'm wondering if I'm going to be next at age 50.

I'm overweight, diabetic and smoke, that's three strikes. Maybe I should start thinking about burial insurance or some such. I have passed the life expectancy of a homeless person which is like 47 and I was homeless for 3 years in Seattle. The deck keeps stacking against me here now I am worried.

Well when ever it happens I just hope it's quick and not some long lingering thing. The best part is when it does happen since I am not a person in the public eye it won't make front page news or dominate headlines, the only people that will notice are my family and friends and the tides of Willapa Bay will continue to change, in other words peoples lives will continue on their daily routines.

Anonymity at times can be a very good thing.

  1. Don't worry about burial insurance. Once yer dead you won't care what happens to your corpse...Cooter :)

  2. Now that I think about it with all the metal I have in me maybe I should just be recycled and composted.
