Men and time--It has haunted me for years. It might explain my hobby with horology? I know there's a fine line between living every day as your last, and indigent, but we drop so easily. The worst thing a teacher ever said was, "Electricians collect 5 retirement checks after they retire." Their wives collect 1/2 of the rest for years. I think about that statement everyday. I think lack of true hobbies might account for some of the early deaths? I never found the real answer. I don't want to know. Hay Mark, if you read this--you were the best teacher I had. I hope you are doing well.
