An Obituary
I find that as I age, I spend more time reading obits.
This one is worth the read.

When I was a kid apprenticing in the clothing industry one of the old men that I worked for used to say that he, "checks the obituaries every morning, and if he doesn't see his name, he gets dressed and goes to work."
I too look at the obits every day. Not so much to know if I should go to work, but because it always struck me that the deaths of famous people and people who have made a difference serves as a timeline. I guess in a way, its how we measure things.
I must admit though, I've never read an obit quite like this one.

All I can think of is how I wish I'd known Fred. What a guy!!! and . . . HE DIDN'T PEE IN THE SHOWER (on purpose). 
Oh, and just fyi, I rarely read the obits anymore unless I get a phone call telling me that someone I knew has died. I got depressed at seeing more and more people younger than I am dying whether I knew them or not. I grieve horribly whenever I lose a friend, family member or acquaintance, so I'd like you all to stay as healthy as possible and live, live, live. I spend much less time dusting my house and more and more time enjoying the out of doors, my wonderful dog, Max, and Lord knows, the S2K and my time chit-chatting with you folks and planning our next adventure. WOOHOO. I guess that's why I sprang for another S2000: The Vintagers know how to plan adventures!!!

I don't read obits, but I might have liked Fred. I wonder if he rode a Harley? I went to our Class of 64 Birthday Party this last Saturday, and I left a bit joyed and depressed. I don't think several are going to make our next reunion.

When I clicked on the link to the obituary, I got a popup window generated by Norton Antivirus warning me that it just blocked an Internet worm originating from that web site. Wonder if the warning was legit???
