When I was young and strong, I was used to boxing three minute rounds, with a minute's rest in between. Now it's more the opposite. (grin)

At the calling hours/ funeral, I was thinking that I hope this is the last generation of my family that has to deal with this type of thing. I looked at the little children, and remembered being that age, and being at another funeral, under similar circumstances. Curious thing, life is.
