10. Worry

Sun Dec 28, 2025, 07:00 PM

Sunday

Get up at the most inconvenient time of day for you. Three in The morning? Do all your worrying for ten minutes and then quit. Get to the point when you get up at three in the morning and you discover you only worry about having nothing to worry about.

I’ve drafted my obit, a living document subject to change. I’ve set aside money for a bbq, lots of beer. Designated drivers. We will be happy I was alive. No sadness allowed. Music by Michael McDonald and Jimmy Buffet. Now I have to wait. It might not happen for 30 years. Oh my the editing.
