Where There's a Will

My wife and I signed our wills today, leaving our substantial fortune (irony is not dead) to our son or, if he's not around, various siblings. One of those grown-up things you just have to do, I suppose. I swore I was of sound mind and disposition. Ha!

"A man's dying is more the survivors' affair than his own."
--Thomas Mann

"Unable are the Loved to die
For Love is Immortality."
--Emily Dickinson

"When we die we simply shed our corporal shells and become pure spirits that float in the air, like a cool summer breeze that blows off a river. Bad people become the dust that collects on TV screens."
--Brian Crowley
