        My high school class was 190 people. 28 are passed already. We are 58. Seems like too many are gone early. So we must make sure we live before we die. Go do something fun today. I turned off the news.

        Dr. Tyson: Please don't read obituaries. This leads to reading more obituaries, and then cat obituaries, and then dog obituaries, and the need arises for buying new prescription reading glasses, and taking time away from reading obituaries.
