I got a hold of my first boss and Godfather, a WWII B-17 pilot and multi-millionaire builder, and he said " You just have to keep on livin' until you die". Back when I was a flight instructor, before I made chief pilot, our chief was another WWII vet pilot. I asked him about life, and he told me "Life is a system of priorities". Later I read the wisdom in my signature. I keep as active as I can be and use nutritional supplements wisely to keep my cardio-vascular system, joints, and bones healthy and known anti-oxidants and anti-cancer herbs, plus Liv52 to keep my HepC (from Dustoff) at bay. Playing guitar and hot rodding them has replaced flying as my outlet. Having a loving, sharing relationship with my wife helps along with the same with God. I lost four old friends in the past year. Alcoholism, cancer, and heart disease. Guys that years ago I shared many adventures with. It hurts a lot, but that is part of living. Pain and joy are all part of it. I remember those words of wisdom, and am thankful for each person in my life, and each day.
