It's almost like Spike Milligan's epitath; "I told you I was ill!"

So, Red, here are a few other options: "Danced with turkeys." "Tried to fix stupid to no avail." "Defied convention, without effort with his own style." "Lived each day to the hilt. Departed quietly." "Loved fiercely with a gentle hand." "Mattered for awhile."

And don't forget: "Hoisted high by his own hot air."

Quite. Do take Kurt's advice yourself. The "Do not ramble" part would be particularly appropriate.

After 69 short years I must confess that I'm still curious, eager and excited about discovering each new day. Still love people, travel, conversation, food, all things competive, dreaming impossible dreams, laughing and life itself as much as I ever have. Should I disappear from my life without notice, here's an uncharacteristically concise epitaph: "Boston Lad played for keeps".

You really 69 GB?
