It’s going to happen whether you like it or not? Sooner but mostly later we wear out our welvome with our family and friends. Nobody wants to see us live forever.
I loved this column. I too am reflecting on my long but not prolific life. A few years back, I took up painting and created around 50 canvases. No, not one dime was earned as I gave most of my art away to friends, family and friends of friends. I now feel spent, wondering if my efforts are appreciated or if they are languishing away in some closet. Keep up the good works, Lou. I will buy, read and remember you as long as I’m around. PS: I’m 94 years old.

God bless you, Ron Ortiz, my long time friend. May you live as long as you want to.
