Default Lost a friend today

In a previous article, said:
I've never cared for the "went out doing what they loved" line
either. Dying sucks no matter how you look at it or how it happens,
whether you smash into the ground in a plane, or fade away in a
hospital bed. Every person that dies leaves behind people who liked


I don't know about you guys, but I want to go to my grave knowing I've
flown as much as it was possible for me to fly. If I die in a crash, that
means I've died when I still had flying years ahead of me and potential
adventures that will never happen. I want to die the day after I lose my
medical, not the day before.

big-ass fight over where to set the thermostat.
