Sometimes it gets too late to die young: write you're a virgin and a suicide with a body that has to be lovely but if you wait too long, it is too long. Even JFK was still a hunk. Think Valentino, Harlow. But if you haven't left by some age too sensitive to mention, then it's too lat. Bardot, now couldn't be remembered pouting, that gorgeous sex kitten. At a certain point, people wonder if you are still living. Soon you'll be "Oh that guy, I thought he was already gone The Oxford English Dictionary defines REPAIR: concourse or confluence of people at or in a place; resort, frequent or habitual going; making one's way; to arrive; to dwell; to heal, to cure, to recover; to renew; (AND!) to fix to original condition.
