44. If you kick off before I do, I'll be sure to write something but I'm pretty sure you won't have any opinion of it...

...except where you will live in us, whereupon, we can say stuff like "I think LuckyCharms would like..."

I recall taking my son to dinner when I went up to his University to discuss his graduate school plans and make recommendations.

I told him, "the only place I'll live after kicking off will be in you. If you want to honor me in any way, do so by being an honorable man yourself."

I think he got the point.

As for LuckyCharms, my pre-obituary is "A guy with a tremendous sense of humor overlain on and rising from a depth of feeling."
