“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my works. I want to achieve it through not dying.”–Woody Allen
“I’m very pleased to be here. Lets face it, at my age, I’m very pleased to be anywhere.”–George Burns
I’ve had enough of it for now. I’m calling a moratorium on in memoriam memeranda, momentarily. (Try saying that five times fast.) So if you are planning on dying, please have the courtesy to hold off for at least a few weeks. My attention now turns back to the living, at least while I’m still breathing.

I’ll do my best, Mark. I promise.
Reminds me of Grumpy old men,
“Then one day you wake up and realise you’re not 81 anymore.”
Nice post, Mark.Made me smile.
Notice I did not reprise the prior in memoriam posts that inspired this one.
