"It is not intended that man's journey to the grave be with the intention of arriving safely, in a pretty and well preserved body -------but, rather that he skids in broadside, battle worn and tested, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, battered but not beaten, bruised and scared, personal witness to the glory that comes in winning, the pain and the agony that accompany defeat, but in the end, loudly and proudly proclaims, "Damn! ---- 'What a ride!'
