Well heck.

A smoking hot chick picked up on me in 1987. She is quietly reading in the next room right now.

I was born in the 1960's. To a middle class family that understood investing and saving and the value of education.

None of my alcoholic friends have managed to kill me yet.

My children are healthy, beautiful, and like me.

My dog is better looking than yours and cries when I have been gone a little while.

I have lived in an amazing country 99.9% of my life.

I have owned THREE Porsches, an MGB, a full convertible K5 Blazer, a 63 Impala, 2 land cruisers, 3 F250's among my other cars.

I have MADE MONEY on my lifetime auto purchases.

I watched Mt. St. Helens blow up first hand and then made a mint cleaning up the ash.

I had a rewarding career.

I experienced Grunge first hand.

My investment track record is far better than the S&P500

Ken Kesey served me oven fried chicken.

I was at UO during the cocaine/alcohol fueled 1980's, and didn't get arrested, any STD's, or lasting trauma.

The list goes on and on.

Yeah. I'm lucky.
