All of my heroes are dying.  There's a lyric in there, I'm working on it.  It's sad, and a little frightening.

I'm a second generation hippie, turning 66.  I survived the dreaded curse of 27 and made it through life relatively well preserved, but there's a lot less road in front of be than behind and I'm not ready to end!!!
