I enjoy a sunset, most anything by Mozart, Duke Ellington, driving a fine machine smoothly around corners being in control, sushi, pot roast, the feel of a really good camera and lens, Remy Martin, the love of a good woman and much more.

When you have all of that, why would I need to risk life and limb, mine and others, just so I can brag that I "own" someone? I have won trophies drag racing. Couldn't tell you where they are today. I enjoy sports, watching professionals under controlled conditions that don't run the risk of decimating a family because I can get away from the light faster or fail to stop for a red light and T-bone another car.

No, I have too much to do to play checkers, although an occasional game of chess helps keep the dendrites going. I played video games when the Commodore 64 came out. After spending hours, one day I realized I hadn't accomplished anything. I have had a lot of experiences in my life though and wouldn't trade them for anything.

Anyhow, that's my take on what life is about. To each their own.
