   Bummer .... none of us get out of here alive. But, we're seldom ready   
   when the journey is over. I only knew Ben from his sporadic appearances   
   in the Cooking Echo - but, 65 is young (says the 77 year old).   
      
   All we can do is live it by a bit of philosophy I picked up from a    
   Datsun/Nissan ad on the glass teat ... "Life's a journey. Enjoy the   
   ride."   
       
   It's worked for me - so far.
