Quote of the Day (on the Art of Living and Dying)

"Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times,
it's the only time we've got."
- Art Buchwald

**************

Here's an article, best described not as an obit but as a celebration of the art of living, as exemplified by Art Buchwald. I don't ever recall being impressed by the way someone died, but now I am: the way he spent his time in hospice sounds like he scheduled his wake early, actually prior to his demise, so he could play host to friends and loved ones and better enjoy his last few weeks on earth. The New York Times described his deathbed as the "hottest salon" in D.C. Kudos, Buchwald!
