Life is Not a Dress Rehearsal

A wry, witty, sometimes hilarious-and very practical-handbook on a subject that no one wants to think about, but that everyone eventually will. Yes, it's about (shudder) death (yours, to be precise) and what you need to do in advance for your own peace of mind and that of your survivors. The book takes its cue from that old Roman wit Marcus Aurelius, who said, "Death smiles at us all. All we can do is smile back." Second edition.
