    Nobody gets out of this life alive but it shouldn't end for trivial or foolish reasons. Length is not the quality of life but what we give to those who come behind. So I also enjoyed Bach, Beethoven along with Mozart and Ravel's Bolero. Yet I also remember family members who have gone into oblivion . . . the good and the bad.

    So let us remember and enjoy:

    I had the radio on in the background at work tonight.
    They started to play several David Bowie songs. But I didn't know or realize why. I must of missed them mentioning his passing away.

    It occurred to me how much I was enjoying them. Some I hadn't heard in a while.
    Maybe it was better I didn't know about his passing. Allowed me a nice evening of enjoying his music. A nice goodbye, whether I knew it at the time or not. .

    I wish David Bowie might have seen "The Martian".
