I still remember a conversation I had with a school mate right after we graduated from high school. We had heard the graduation speech about how we were going to go and face the world, and we might have the basic education, we had a lot to learn about the world. My buddy was saying we were pretty smart and knew all we kneed to know to go be adults.

Dang, now know just how ignorant I was back then. After a lifetime of experience and I am still learning things all the time. There is simply no substitute for experience, and much experience comes from failure.

So yea, there were some fun times growing up. In the 1970s before Aids, Hepatitis, Herpes in the era of free love was great as a single guy. The worst disease was fixed with a shot in the butt, and I never even needed that since I never paid for sex with a hooker.

Life is far more than fun sex, and parties. Finding real friendship and then a wife of 29 years was way more important. I just wish I had met my wife 10 or 15 years before we ever did meet.

If I can't keep my knowledge and experience and at least know to buy lots of Microsoft and Apple stock when it first hit the market I ain't going back. I don't want to be that ignorant again.
