I love to go to cemeteries to read tombstones. Especially an old, old cemetery. My wife is from Holly Springs, Mississippi and I mean the house where she lived was built in the 1800s and so it's an old town and old cemeteries but just to read the things on the tombstones.

That's that little space of time. It's not you know how you died or when you died it's how you live that matters. It's what you did with the dash. You didn't have anything to do with your birth, you don't control your birth, and you don't control your death. But what you do is you cont ...
