Dying: I’m too iconic to go.
To be so cold that I am not able to sleep.
That it takes a week for someone to discover my body.
Wasting my life.
I would just be content with every moment as it is instead of gnashing my teeth trying to change things all the time.
Watching my sons ski down a mountain for the first time.
Deep and complex thoughts delivered with a wicked sense of humor.
Watching a great movie in the afternoon and then taking a long nap.
