Mike Rice takes an honest, sometimes humorous look at the aging process, grief and mortality from a Choice Theory point of view. Kim Olver, Executive Director of William Glasser International and William Glasser Institute - US _____ "I used to joke by saying, 'If you want to look young . . . hang out with old people.' I thought this was a clever line until one day, all of my older friends were no longer living and I became the old one." _____ The bitter, yet merciful, lesson which death teaches us is to distinguish the gold from the tinsel, the true values from the worthless chaff. The terrible events of life are great eye-openers. They force us to learn that which it is wholesome for us to know, but which habitually we try to ignore - namely, that really we have no claim on a long life; that we are each of us liable to be called off at any moment, and that the main point is not how long we live, but with what meaning we fill the short allotted span - for short it is at best. Felix Adler _____ "As we get older it seems "organ recitals" become a regular occurrence with every social gathering."
