Like everyone else who makes the mistake of getting older, I begin each day with coffee and obituaries. ~Bill Cosby

Gotta love Bill!
I've always read the obits...not sure why, but I guess I have some strange fascination with death.
coffee, i understand. obituaries... well, perhaps i'm not yet old enough :)
Coffee? Absolutely. ;) Obits I use to read on a daily basis as well, but I was going through a rough patch. I don't do that anymore. Good thing to because its a bit of a downer.
I've been pondering the aging process as of late (probably because I read Ecclesiasties 12:1-6 yesterday- check it out, it's a very poetic rendering about aging....if you read it out of the King James, "Grinders" are teeth!)
But also, my Dad was having a hard time hearing someone yesterday, and I teased him about being like that passage- and he agreed. We all get old really fast!
i agree. gotta love bill! so much more than a comedian. nice one!
In gaining an understanding of our own mortality we learn to appreciate (and give gratitude for) every moment of this blessing of life that we have been given. I surmise that as we get older we are more appreciative of every day that we are alive. As an older friend once said to me "Every day I wake up now is a good one"
layla- I can see the interest in it, why not? - we all will die whether we like it or not ;-\
polona- don't do coffee either :p
shrig- so much can be learned about other lives through the obits, but I can see how it would be difficult during a low period.
lp- I'll have to check that out, thanks, and yes it happens to the best of us :-)
raindog- yes, he hits things right on a lot!
moment- I'd have to agree, it's a shame it takes getting old and feeble to acknowledge this for a lot of folks...
Enjoying my peaceful stay in Baja! It's ending soon :(
hahahaha....i think its one of the best way to start the day....:D
That is one very funny, very clever guy, Mr Cosby!
