Can you believe this?  It was a peanut butter sandwich.  A peanut butter sandwich!   I couldn’t tell if it had jelly on it or not.  I can’t tell you what a let down that was.  Or on the other hand, maybe peanut butter sandwiches are good for you.  What do I know? 

Jimmy also talked about getting and keeping in good shape.  He was always exercising.  He would be standing there talking to you with both his hands on a wall and was actually doing pushups against the wall.  He constantly was moving.

Here is what he had to say about that about keeping in shape.  When you reach the age of 35, you need to have your body in the shape that you want it to be in.  After that age it becomes very difficult for your body to produce muscle and even harder to lose weight or get into shape.  It is also not good for your body to work out to the point of exhaustion.  This is where toylihofut comes in.  (I will discuss this in greater detail tomorrow). 

Jimmy told me that if you keep your body in great shape, you would just go to sleep one day in your old age and not wake up.  You would die peacefully in your sleep.  He said that if you didn’t, however, you would linger.  You would fall ill.  You could be ill for years and you would suffer.  You could lose your memory and could lose the ability to take care of yourself.  He made it quite clear to me that this is not the road you want to go down. 

I gave it a lot of thought but tucked it into the back of my mind.  That is until February 14^th, 1999.  That is the day that Jimmy went to sleep and never woke up.  Talk about a shocker.  He did it.  He proved his point.  He died in his sleep.  If you got to go, that is the way to do it. 

Never again would I take lightly anything he had told me in the past.
