Damn! Life's just too freakin short...
I fucking enjoy each day that I wake up alive!
I already wrote here that I once witnessed a men die of a heart attack down on a beach. That was a turning point in my life. What followed is I divorced. Started seing SP. Sold some work related investment and property and freed up half my working schedule. Now I fucking enjoy each day that I wake up alive!
Cheers!

Not a tragedy... 69 is old for a male.

I had a big scare over the summer, and have totally re evaluated everything.
Get a treadmill test if you are over fifty for sure, and get a regular checkup.
But to drop dead while doing something you enjoy is not a bad way to go.
About 20 years ago I had a client who was in his mid 40s and he worked as a stockbroker. He was one of the fittest mid 40s guys I knew at the time, not an ounce of fat on him (looked like a pro athlete), didn't smoke or drink and ate well, but had a very stressful job. And bad hearts in his family. He suffered a heart attack which he survived and eventually left that profession. I represented him on his legal claim against the short term disability insurance company when he went out of work which we eventually settled. He eventually moved on to another business. I can't recall what but less stress. You also have to learn to deal with stress or it will eat you up.
Stress is a killer no doubt. Just another reason to see more SP/MPA's

Your relatives might not see the humour in it though.
It would make for a great discussion at the funeral parlour.
A few years ago someone i knew died exactly this way, while in bed with his mistress. A mistress no one knew about, including his wife and kids. Now every time i hear his name mentioned, someone replies "Oh, the guy who died while fucking his mistress." He was once well-regarded by people who knew him and he was an honorable man. Now he's just the guy who died while fucking his mistress. Sad.
But at least she called 911. I'm not sure an sp would. And i'm fairly certain an sp doesn't even know herself if she would.
Many years ago, a client found an sp unconscious in his bathroom. He panicked, not really knowing what to do. But instead of calling 911, he called the agency and they sent two guys to come and pick her up. I was told they carried her out, but this is hard to believe since they would have to go through the lobby. Unless they used a fire exit door. Anyways, she turned out to be okay. She had overdosed or something while in the bathroom.
