    The only thing I get away with at 75 is to say to my lad and his son - "you may be bigger, but you will only be half the man I was".

    Makes me feel good if a tad inaccurate.

    My old man's 80 with three types of cancer, osteoporosis and chronic asthma. The old bugger keeps on truckin' though, and he's not leaving wife, two kids, five grandchildren and a bunch of other family members until he has to. There's a lesson for us all there.

    Life is short and then you die, but it's the people in your life that matter. Not money, "success", fame or all the other ****. Just people...
