“I remember visiting a man who had come down with Parkinson's disease, and he had been diagnosed very shortly after he had retired. And he told me that he and his wife had saved all their life and then when they were gonna both retire they were gonna do things. And his advice, he says “don't wait till you retire to do things”. And I think that drove home the point after I got cancer I had said to me don't wait, it's time to enjoy life, do things. And I have been. But I think that just pushed it to the front burner. And so i started visiting places-- my wife and I went to Hawaii, cause that was one place I always wanted to go-- I have done a lot of international travel since that, but I think cause I enjoy traveling --and I always thought well I'll wait till I retire-- but I didn't. I started taking trips and started to do things on my bucket list that I probably would have pushed off if i didn't have cancer.”
