That would seem to describe it nicely Dave, and it sounds like he apparently 
he lived by that belief.  IMO its a good way to go, cuz at 75, I'm getting 
that worn out feeling myself & diabetes is taking its toll.  But I have so 
many unfinished projects that if I fell over in the next year, my wife would 
have to hire help just to load it into the trash truck, so I don't dare go 
till I've finished a few of them. ;-P
