My dear old Father, God rest his soul, spent his autumn years on the bowling 
green involved with the terribly dangerous English sport of lawn bowling.

I well recall his telling me about the match he was having with poor old 
'Bob' who was well into his 90s, my dad took his shot and turned round to ask Bob 
when he was going to take his turn, only to find him lying stone dead on the 
grass.

That sport was a true killer, it took them all one after another.

But the point is, they died doing what they loved, and that surely beats 
dying n your sleep in a care home with Alzheimer's!
