As I grow old and think about the demise that will certainly happen.....

I think I will probably gift my kids and sibs the opportunity to read my words that I've written on DU over the past 20+ years.. I will suggest that they quickly trash my dumbest / cosmicly unconnected ramblings. Could have been alcohol, could have been some very fine Sativa. But in the course of a combined 60,000 posts....I imagine they will find some things that they will connect with me.

I didn't realize that DU was a 20 year diary for me.
