It's not a downer at all, not to me anyway; it's a reality check. Yes, life is short and getting shorter. When I get to a certain point of inebriation I like to dance and if I'm downtown I'll dance for hours; I did the last time I drank. I can see a stroke or heart attack happening to me if I don't quit drinking for good. If it's not pushing myself at dancing, it's pushing myself at biking or weightlifting or whatever. For the sake of the few folks who love me, I really should stay sober and try to stick around, as we all should. No reason to check out at 45 when we can last another 30 or 40 years.
