Nobody ever sat up on their deathbed and gasped, "I wish I'd spent more time at the office!"

I just thought of "Life During Wartime" when I was out for my run this morning.

Get enough exercise, brush and floss, eat your vegetables, and wear sunblock.

Seriously, it will make such a huge difference to your quality of life when you are fifty or sixty, you have no idea.
