'The trouble with retirement is you never get a day off'.

Apropos yesterday's blog entry, apparently, there is at least one other version with a different 10th "commandment". Here it is:

Be more accepting that, sooner, not later, you will croak. Prepare your swan song with a humble and contrite heart. If you believe in a merciful and loving God, there is no need to strut like a star. Nobody is.
