Hey, I worked as a taxi driver for almost 2 years AFTER I got out of college, THAT is pathetic. And at least you got a long ways away from the old neighbhorhood. I only made it about 35 miles, but I make up for that by consciously avoiding the area as if it was thousands of miles away.

It’s like the Bruce Springsteen song, “These are better days”. These are the best days and I wouldn’t go back to those pathetic days of youth if you paid me.

Unless of course I could bring my middle age mentality to my 20 something body, maybe they will come up with some new drugs… One can always hope.

It’s nice to look at, but when I look at old pictures of myself, besides noticing how much weight I’ve gained, I have to think: if I would have known then how I would turn out, I would probably have killed myself.”

you have a rare gift. ;)

I’m relieved, however, to read that I’m not the only one who saves old calendars. Amazing the stuff that’s written on them…. :-)
