It's not easy being young.
It's not easy being young.
I had to laugh, it's quite windy here today and a young guy just rode his skateboad past the house carrying his surfboard while texting, and had his baseball cap on backwards to complete the picture. The other guys are just concentrating on not dropping their surfboards in the wind. |

Nice, but he looked cool, and that's all that counts.

I don't want to go back, not much I really want to do over, buy something earlier or sell it later, get rid of my first wife quicker, but to be that age again, I doubt I could really change.

Yup, I'm sure it a jealousy thing. I could do one or the other, skateboard, carry the surfboard, txt, wear the cap without looking silly, but not at the same time LOL. Maybe not the cap thing. |

Bill, I just want to see photos of where you're speaking of. NZ is very charming, IMO.

DD, I'll put some pics up on my website Lyall Bay Beach, Wellington, New Zealand sometime soon. As per the recent discussions about NZ, Wellington and the north island isn't as nice as the south island Anyone know Perth well? Wanaka/Queenstown is great.

Screw "growing old gracefully". I intend to avoid growing old as long as possible and finally capitulate to it only after much thrashing about, kicking and screaming. I won't go quietly. Of course I really do wish I knew then what I know now. Youth really is wasted on the young. But I'd still like to have it back again. It's better than getting old.

Although there's something to be said for being "young and dumb and full of ___". Youth is powerful enough to offset all the stupidity associated with being young. It makes doing very dumb things very forgiveable.
