I'm a political junkie. I spend probably 8 hrs. a day switching back and forth between CNN and MSNBC. I was absolutely shocked about the sudden and unexpected death of Tim Russert at age 58. Taping a show one minute, dead the next. Very sobering for people in our age group. Most of us are no less vulnerable. Although we can't afford to walk around in a perpetual state of doom and gloom, we should probably give some consideration to what we would like people's last remembrance of us to be should the unexpected happen. I wouldn't be to unhappy if most folks memory of me was "well, he was a little grumpy at times, but basically, he really liked people".

This may be a little too personal for some, but (if you care to answer) how would you like to be remembered?
