A higher mortality rate? We're all getting older. I don't frequent a lot
of other groups but I think we're better off cooking at home than eating out
five days a week. Sometimes people have illnesses and die. We don't know
what his medical issues were. My father's older brother died at 58. His
sister is still alive and kicking at 90. You can never tell.

I'll miss Blake. He had a sense of fun.
