Randy Meisner, a founding member of the Eagles in 1971, bass player, songwriter and smoker, has passed at 77. The cause of death was chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

He wrote 'Take It to the Limit', and I guess he did. I keep seeing people born in 1946 dropping all around me, and I'm grateful to still be moving.

Taking it to the limit was also my theme song. But once I reached a particular limit, I learned to back off and stopped if needed.

Now, with a healthy diet of empty calories, my amazing physical shape, and totally addiction free, in my mind, I hope to make it to 78!
