Going with Gonzo

"No More Games. No More bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun -- for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax -- This won't hurt."

That is what appears to be a final note from Hunter S Thompson before he shot himself with a .45 revolver whilst on the telephone to his wife. He was in pain and had been considering suicide for a number of years. When I was 30 I settled for departing at 50.
