    Speaking of divorce, I once over heard a conversation, as two golfers pulled up in the parking lot beside my cart. They greeted each other and the one ask his buddy how it had been going. He replied, " I did not know I was so low down sorry till my wife took me to court and proved it."

    Listen, if you were foolish enough to marry an attorney, then you had it coming to you.

  6. I was warned, but ignored it to my detriment. PS-- I needed house counsel at the time-- so that worked anyway---

    Ha. I'm the only doctor in a family full of attorneys, and the only one who does not think that arguing with other people is a profession, a hobby, or a vocation. I definitely don't understand them, and they don't understand me.

  8. A saying goes time is money.

    Neither time (relativity), nor money (fractional reserve fantasy) IMO are as real as living in the moment. As one gets older I have found that many must have, must do, must be's drop away leaving core activities. Happiness increases as one ages provided one is healthy I have found.

    Suppose you knew there was a 98% chance according to a doctor that you would be gone in 1 month, would you hug your money, your time or something else? What if it were 98% in 24 hours? or 10 years? Might be worth to spend some time thinking this way about life. I wish I had thought about it more when I was 30
