Still, there is time (for some) to enjoy life a bit between the doctors visits and trying to adjust to the ever increasing pace of life with ever increasing costs, new tech, expanding populations, diminishing resources, all while getting older and more frail and expanding concerns about the ones you leave behind. You are faced with your mortality. Waking up in the morning is less a blessing then a surprise. And then you hear Peggy Lee singing, "Is that all there is?"
