None of us do. I had a good scare in late may, a pulmonary embolism that 
just about put the ~30~ on the end of my story. It left me with just 
enough sense to understand that it might be the end. I don't recommend it 
as a way to die.  But the clot buster shot worked, so I'm still all here, 
I think. :)

Some would have argued that point for the last 75 years. ;-)
