I am reminded of the story told of Bob Hope. When asked where he'd
like to be buried, he said "Surprise me."

As for death? Take me when I wonderful plans for tomorrow, rather than
when all I have are memories of yesterdays, or no memory at all.

Poignant words indeed.
The last line makes for a fitting replacement for the ever clichéd
"He died doing what he loved!", which always seems to rub people the
wrong way for some reason.

Screw them. Doesn't make the words false.

I think it does...

Well, maybe not false, but they don't ring true and they're zero
consolation.

I think all of us would prefer to spend a
long life flying airplanes, riding motorcycles,
having sex, and then die relatively quickly
in bed. I know I would.- Hide quoted text -
