This reminded me of my boss. He always liked the following Thompson quote, "Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" I like to think he would want me to keep practicing my skid.
@Pinkstarburst: That too, is a great quote! You know he'd want you skidding, and I'm so happy you had the opportunity to be impacted by a seemingly wonderful individual!

Counting on it
I like to think he would want me to keep practicing my skid.
Also, it sounds incredibly un-Thompsonlike, he was pretty famous for his own procrastination habit
I simply recall Thompson writing this in his letters published in The Proud Highway.
