It would be nice not to have all the ailments. I don't mind dying at all, but I don't want to rush things. I'm sort of looking forward to it!

Oh, I realize there are some pretty good people at this site, but I think I would be happier else where.

Thanks, :)

Well, I would hate to see you go but you gotta do what you gotta do I guess. Yeah, I am not saddened that I missed Vietnam. But as a veteran myself, I can assure you that all you fine folks who did the time over there have my utmost respect. I served with a bunch of guys who were there and I have a basic understanding of what you all went through and what it took from you.

Salute my friend. Salute.

And I'm with you, I have no heart break with my age. I've had some pretty good times and I am certain there are a lot more ahead. When it ends, it ends and like you I am in not trying to rush things any. :)

If you do go, take care. Hope to see you around somewhere.
