    Most likely no, since most of my friends and family don't want anything to do with me after I left.

    So I'm learning to enjoy my own solitude.

    I don't want my death to be a nuisance or any more painfull than necessary for those who remain.

    Therefore I propose to ascend in the clouds slowly waving goodbye whilst heavenly choirs sing drinking songs.

    My death isn't something I think too much about. I don't fear death just occasionally I wonder about the circumstances that will lead up to it.

    Heck, I've already died by shooting, stabbing, drowning, starving, freezing, burning, hanging, falling, suffocating, being eaten alive, and too many other ways to mention. And I'm still here. What's one more death, whatever the circumstances?

    Death is like getting out of an old, broken-down car, and into a shiny new one.. there's nothing scary about it, except what we tell ourselves beforehand.

    It doesn't matter what matters is for it not to be some long painful drawn out affair or preceded by some long moments of terror like watching yourself being charged by a large hungry animal.

    No.

    I remember driving home alone and feeling an intense pain in my heart area. I instinctively asked, "Is this it Lord? It's OK with me if it is". Needless to say, I was not done in. When I got home I proudly announce my spirituality and willingness in all this. At that point my wife interrupted me sharply...

    Oh ya...what about us!!!!

    My "spirituality" was put down a peg or two.

    I still laugh at myself over that one.

    From the film, 'Up in the Air' . . .

    Natalie Keener: Never?
    Ryan Bingham: No.
    Natalie Keener: Ever?
    Ryan Bingham: No.
    Natalie Keener: You never wanna get married?
    Ryan Bingham: Nope.
    Natalie Keener: Never want kids?
    Ryan Bingham: Not a chance.
    Natalie Keener: Ever?
    Ryan Bingham: Never. Is that so bizarre?
    Natalie Keener: Yes. Yes, it is.
    Ryan Bingham: I just don't see the value in it. All right, sell it to me.
    Natalie Keener: What?
    Ryan Bingham: Sell me marriage.
    Natalie Keener: Okay. How about love?
    Ryan Bingham: [scoffs] Okay.
    Natalie Keener: Stability. Just somebody you can count on.
    Ryan Bingham: How many stable marriages do you know?
    Natalie Keener: Somebody to talk to, someone to spend your life with.
    Ryan Bingham: I'm surrounded by people to talk to. I doubt that's gonna change.
    Natalie Keener: How about just not dying alone?
    Ryan Bingham: Starting when I was 12, we moved each one of my grandparents into a nursing facility. My parents went the same way. Make no mistake, we all die alone. Now those cult members in San Diego, with the sneakers and the Kool-Aid, they didn't die alone. I'm just saying there are options.
