    Having reached that appalling percentage of a centuries' age today, (the fifth, actually) it occurred to me, amoungst other recent morbid thoughts, that I completely forgot to properly celebrate the "likely" half way point of my statistical life expectancy. Must have happened while I was still too busy feeling "young"... Ah, well... I just hope they find me cold and hard and next to my boat one day too.

    Hey, Brad? Remember that can of pure sodium we tossed off the Carr's bulkhead at high tide that night?

    (Say "Hi" to your Dad for me.)
