Hi! Ardith,

In my working career I experienced many folk dying (don't worry, it was 'old 
age' in many cases).  Now, in my older years, I often wonder who else would 
remember them.  Then, I congratulate myself for at least I can still remember 
them.

These days I sometimes 'come to' from having carried on a lecture to my house 
mates: one Aussie Lorikeet (who hates me) and one South American Sun Conure.  
It pays in one's latter years to enjoy a captive audience, and, also to still 
have the ability to recover consciousness.  ;)

Cheers,
Paul.
