[Spridgets] Not even a little bit of LBC content

I had an epiphany today.  I went to the funeral of a relative of my wife.  He
was only 38 years old -- a young guy.  He had a beautiful wife and two
beautiful kids aged 4 and 8.  Two great kids that were way too young to be
left fatherless.

His father is in a business related to mine.  It's a lucrative business and he
is a titan in the business.  Huge power and huge money.  He has (had) one son
and one daughter.  He was reduced to a babbling, sobbing shell of a man by the
loss of his only son.  It made me think of what is important.  This guy would
give up anything he ever had to have his son back.  There is a lesson to all
of us.  Family and friends trump power and riches hands down.  Relish what you
have, not what you want.

OK, the sappy email is over with.  Some of you will get it and some won't.
Bye.
