Carroll Shelby's passing is upon us, but..
Jimmy Buffett wrote a great song, "A Pirate Looks at Forty." Like at 30-something, he thought 40 was going to be a real real big deal. No, Jimmy, what do you think NOW?
My daddy got old and died, as all of us will someday, but in his later years his only complaint was he couldn't remember anything. It frustrated him that he couldn't remember names, dates, events. That's the only thing in this world he ever complained about, and the complaint was about himself. He couldn't remember anything.
Even in the hospital, on his dying bed, the nurse would come and take blood samples (none of us even now know why), and Daddy would say, "Thank you," to the nurse as she was leaving the room.
So, I can't remember the point I was trying to make with this.
