You are still young, and these days several of your friends that are
10+ years older than you likely will still be around in 10 years or
more too. If some friends are gone, then there will be more wine for
those remaining to celebrate what fine people the deceased were. And if
you have the misfortune to be run over by a cement truck, or something
of the sort, then your remaining friends can have a wonderful
celebration of your life with the remaining wines :-). Perhaps I should
apply for the job as a spin PR person for the White House :-).
