Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

My heirs won't have to wait until I'm old and gray. They will have to wait until THEY are old and gray. Yeah, it's been a good ride, but I have miles to go before ...

At least I hope so.
