A lesson to be learned.

Life is fragile. Oh, so fragile. Disaster is around the corner. Take the earthquake in Haiti. Overnight. From peace and calm. To maybe 200,000 dead. One never knows. A few weeks ago a 104-year-old man was walking the streets in Brooklyn, like he always did daily, to stay in good health. But then he was hit by a mini-van. In the wrong place at the wrong time. All his life he seemed to be in the right place at the right time. Except once. And that's all it takes. Maybe there's a lesson to be learned. Savor life. While one still has it. --Jim Broede
