A Post-It note Dad left for us

04.24.2009 by David Murray // 10 Comments

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Holy shit, what a ride."

    And there’s this one, by my wife:
    “Live fast, die young and leave a well-marbled corpse.”

    Steve, you’re mean. I think our guy Bill has a lovely approach to life. Even his passionate indignation at injustices is endearing (though I do worry that it isn’t good for his heart). Anyone who can sing Wagner without having to say “kill da wabbit” because he knows the REAL words has my admiration! (I’m a big fan of Bugs Bunny opera.)
    And Ron, great quote. I definitely will leave a “well-marbled corpse.”
