to them too soon, it seemed almost a noble way to go, compared to
so many alternatives.

Before I was flying, we knew a couple who were both pilots. The
woman was killed in a crash, and the husband said he was comforted
that she died doing something she loved. They had no kids. At the
time -- being a young wife and mother -- I could not relate to that
statement at all. It sounded too matter-of-fact. Now, being older
and a pilot myself, I understand it.

I don't. I'd much rather die at the hands of a jealous husband..

Ditto, but on my 100th birthday, of course.

And more than one husband , if possible.

Fear of failure in front of the peer group while keeping one's
proverbial butt in one piece at the same time.....good multi-tasking and
a highly motivating factor in the survival manual :-))


Plus, I wouldn't be able to kick their asses for trashing me behind my
back!

Tina;

What would I have to do to get you to stop calling me "Mr. Dudley?" :-))
I'm just plain Dudley really.

I will say however that as a child in a Parochial boarding all boys
Military School; with the name Dudley Arthur Henriques the third, by the
time I reached the seventh grade I had to be either the toughest or the
fastest kid in school. Fortunately for me, I was a bit of both :-))

I always told my buds on the show circuit that if I dug a hole in the
ground and they all came out and started roasting marshmallows on the
fire, I hoped they singed their dingies :-))

Actually yes. My wife says to tell you that the top of my head would be
the perfect place to put a little M&M stamp. :-)

Come on Dudley, you've been there. That's blood, not 100 octane low
lead, in your veins. Even professionals smile.

Actually, for me this would have been 130 octane (if I could find it)
and when my wife got the bill for 180 gallons of that, I can tell you,
she wasn't smiling :-)

You don't know the HALF of that statement :-) Putting up with the likes
of me for 40 years and running, this woman deserves a permanent place in
heaven.
