John N. Baldwin, MD: The Meaning of Life

THE MEANING OF LIFE

Dear Friends and Family:

This does not constitute a bragging rights thing or a "destroy the environment" photo-op. It just shows a guy, pushing 72, who had a great day, in the freedom of America, catching a fish which was going up to die after spawning... pretty much what our own lives are all about... spawn and then die.

There was pleasure in the day, in the company of forever friends and in the fact that we are what we desire to be... in this world of conformity and often, punishing days of insignificance and daily work.

Enjoy each special moment. Put the photograph in your memory bank and smile the next time someone looks at you cross-eyed at the supermarket. You know the real truth.

Love to all of my friends and family.
JB... STILL GOING and ready for whatever comes........
